Alamo 00761808C, A96B, FC-0015, FC-0016 manual Problem Possible Cause Remedy

OPERATION

Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the chains are pulling downward and against themselves. Carefully tighten the securing chains or other fasteners using boomers or binders to apply maximum tension. Use extreme care when attaching and removing the securing devices as the extreme tension involved when released has the potential to inflict serious injury.

While hauling the tractor and implement, make occasional stops to check that the tractor and implement have not moved or shifted and that the securing chains have maintained tension. If during

transport a hard braking, sharp turning, or swerving action was performed, stop at the next safe location to inspect the security of the load. OPS-U- 0026
