Ladder Operation
Falling Hazard:
Lower drill before using ladders and walkboards. Face toward
ladder when ascending or descending. Use hand holds
provided. Watch your step. A fall from the walkboard could
result in serious injury or death.
The ladders at each end of the walkboard have three
positions:
1.
Locked up for storage:
To put the ladder in this position, swing to the fully
inverted vertical position, and let the bolts slide to the
bottom of the slot. Use this position to discourage
climbers when the drill is parked or in storage. This
position is not ideal when the drill is in motion.
2.
Folded for transport and field operation:
Use this position when the drill is in motion, as it
minimizes stress and wear on the slotted ladder
mounts.
3.
Down for materials and maintenance:
Use this position for loading seed, unloading seed,
and drill maintenance. Do not use this position
during transport, as it reduces lateral clearance. Do
not store the drill with ladders down.
