Transport Locks

IMPORTANT: Always disengage tractor’s PTO and wait for blades to stop before raising cutter wings to transport position. Drivelines and gearboxes will be damaged if cutter wings are raised while PTO is turning.

NOTE: The wings are controlled with two hydraulic lift cylinders. Be certain that the wing hydraulics are attached to the tractor and the hydraulic hoses are full of oil before proceeding.

Cutter wings will need to be raised before transporting on a roadway, through narrow gate openings and when servicing the deck underside.

Refer to Figure 3-1& Figure 3-2:

1.Disengage tractor PTO and wait for the cutter blades to come to a complete stop before raising the wings.

2.Raise the cutter wings fully up with the hydraulics.

3.Place tractor gear selector in park, shut tractor engine off, set park brake, remove switch key and dismount from tractor.

4.See Figure 3-2.Remove hairpin cotter (#1) from storage pin (#2).

5.Rotate end of transport lock bar (#3) to cylinder pin (#4) as shown in Figure 3-1.Secure with hairpin cotter (#1).

6.Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other wing section. Cutter is now ready for transporting.

!CAUTION!

When traveling on public roads at night or during the day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.

1.Select a safe ground speed when transporting from one area to another.

2.Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning and leave enough clearance so the cutter does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.

3.Always raise wings and set transport locks to keep wing decks from falling before traveling on public roadways.

4.When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

5.Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough or hilly terrain.
