Wheel Chocks (S/N C1009F-)
Rolling Hazard
To avoid serious injury from a free rolling
machine, use wheel chock blocks to
chock tires in direction of grade when
machine is parked. Chock both sides of
tires if grade is undetermined.
Two sets of wheel chocks (4 chocks total) are
provided to secure the drill when parked. Install
ahead and behind the cart tires. Wedge the
chocks (1) tightly under the cart tires.
Roll - Away Hazard
If no tractor is hitched, or the tractor is not
securely parked, the drill could roll away
after chock removal, and cause an
accident resulting in death, serious injury,
or substantial property damage.
When not in use, store the chocks in holders (2)
mounted under each end of the walkboard.
1. Make sure the tractor transmission is in Park, and
that the tractor’s parking brake is applied.
2. Remove the chocks from the wheel on one side.
If a wheel chock is difficult to remove, and/or the
drill moves significantly when the chock is
removed, investigate the cause before removing
the chocks on the other side.
3. Store one chock right - side - up in the bottom of the
holder, tall end of chock toward frame.
4. Store the other chock in the top channel guides
of the same holder, upside - down, short end
toward frame.
5. Repeat step 2 through step 4 for the other side.
