8.3 Transport Position
•For transport on public highway, the boom must be folded within the overall width of the tractor.Position the arm until the boom head is approximately 4 ft. (1.5 M) clear of the ground and the dipper is horizontal.
•Pull the dipper arm to the rear to remove tension on the breakaway ram base pin and remove it.
•Manually break back the dipper until the base of the ram is relocated between the inboard holes in the ram lugs. Replace the ram base pin.
•Select “Reach In” and “Lift Up” until the main arm is adjacent against the stop on the top of the main frame. Fully extend the angle ram to face the booms inboard.
•Remove the transport lock pin from its stowage position beneath the main arm and locate in position through the retaining ped. Secure with spring cotter.
•For offroad transport where width is not critical, it will be sufficient to fully fold the arms and engage the lock pin.
•To revert to “work mode”, the above procedures must be reversed.
Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement’s wings. Make sure no bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow ample clearance around the implement when folding or unfolding the wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or overhead power lines.
Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result
in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and the decks are securely blocked up.
Make certain that the Boom swing path is clear of bystanders, powerlines, and obstructions to prevent injury, electrocution, and possible machine damage. Swing Boom SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. Avoid sudden starting and stopping.
