Transport Instructions
Before attempting to operate the lift cylinder, remove transport lock. Store cylinder lock on the
holder attached to the front of the weight bar bracket. When traveling long distances, it is
recommended that the transport lock be installed, pressure relieved from the hydraulic hoses
and hoses hooked to the tractor. If trailing behind a towing vehicle, the hydraulic hoses should
be stored in the slotted storage in the tongue cover.
NEVER use an unsecured pin in draw bar.
DO NOT attempt to remove the cylinder at any time for transport or field operations.
Stow the adjustable jack on top of the tongue mounting stub to avoid interference with main
tractor wheels in tight turns and make sure 3-pt linkages are fully raised.
Connect the 7 pin lighting plug to the tractor receptacle and use at all times. Confirm the
correct lights are operating if your tractor is not wired by industry standard code. Standard 7
pin receptacles are available through your dealer, local truck supply stores, and auto parts
facilities.
Always attach the safety chain to the tractor drawbar system.
Disconnect drive chain and store on the "dummy" sprocket when traveling long distances.
If your drill is equipped with hydraulic markers, the safety chains should be attached to the
marker to avoid catastrophic injury to oncoming vehicles.
Maximum allowable speed; 25 mph.
CAUTION! Your drill may weigh more than the towing vehicle. The drill is NOT
equipped with brakes. Exercise extreme caution!
