Disconnecting the NTB
Before disconnecting the NTB, determine
a proper storage location. When choosing a
place to store the attachment, there are three
important things to keep in mind:
Is the ground level?
The ground must be level to help prevent
the attachment from falling over. Level
ground will also minimize stress on the frame
of the attachment while in storage and ease of
attachment hook-up.
Is there enough space?
The NTB must be folded for it to stand
properly. Be aware of the room that is needed
for the attachment and adequate space to
travel around it safely.
Is it accessible?
The NTB must to be positioned so you can
connect the attachment easily. If temporarily
storing the attachment on a soft surface (such
as grass), it is recommended to put blocks or
wood beneath the coulters (and parking
stands, if equipped with a 60-ft. HsTB) to
prevent the attachment from sinking into the
ground.
NOTE: It is NOT recommended to store the
NTB attachment on a soft surface for
an extended period of time, due to the
risk of settling soil, even when blocks
or wood are used.
1. Lower the NTB attachment down to
level storage location.
60’ HsTB
NOTE: If you are disconnecting a 30/40’
NTB, proceed to Step 2.
• Extend (lower) the parking stands.
Refer to “Transporting” provided elsewhere in
this section for further information.
• Lower attachment, ensuring gauge wheels
touch the ground first and toolbar leans back
slightly. (This will aid in reconnecting the
attachment).
2. Disengage the Quick-Tach Lock Assem-
blies by pulling the Lock Pin (located on
the front left and right-hand side of
machine) OUT as far as it will go until it
is in the “lock-out” position.
NOTE: “Lock-out” position prevents re-
locking while attaching or detaching
the NTB.
WARNING
Turn the engine OFF before connecting/
disconnecting any hoses or electrical
lines. Failure to comply may result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Ensure NTB attachment is in the fully
FOLDED position before detaching from
machine. Failure to comply may result in
serious injury or death and will result in
property damage.
WARNING
Lower NTB to the ground before
disengaging the Quick-Tach Lock
Assemblies.
