Heavy Object Hazard:
Use the lifting handle . Push leg against frame while raising
or lowering. The leg weighs approximately 45 pounds (20 kg).
The leg could cause injury if you lose control of it while
raising or lowering.
1. Use tractor 2-point hitch and the fold/lift circuit to
slightly raise the applicator. See “ Raising/Lowering
Applicator ” on page 50.
2. Remove cotters from pins .
3. Grasp the lifting handle. Use an assistant or shoulder
to hold leg against frame and inside flanges.
4. Remove the pins .
5. Lift or lower the stand straight up or down.
6. Re-insert pins. Secure with cotters.
Swing-Up Stands
This applies to older 2-point (lift assist) hitching, and
older 3-point hitching.
Refer to Figure 16
1. Use tractor 3-point hitch (and if so equipped, the
lift-assist circuit) to slightly raise the applicator. See
“ Raising/Lowering Applicator ” on page 50.
2. Remove the pivot pin at each stand. To prevent
the leg from reaching (and possibly passing) full
vertical, insert the pin in the rear storage hole .
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand in front of the leg while raising it. The stand leg
is is heavy. If you lose control of it, it can fall forward and may
cause injury.
3. Swing the stand forward, up and then back.
4. Re-insert the pivot pin in either of the two upper
holes, and the leg tube, to secure the leg at vertical.
Note: The rear hole holds the stand at full vertical.
5. If the leg cannot be swung up due to interference
with a tractor component (such as a tire), see
“ Parking Stand Clearance ” on page 37.
