Revision A
Chapter 3: Unloading and Assembling Tractor Mount
Float Module
Unload and unpack all TM100 parts before beginning assembly. Carefully follow these procedures in the order in which
they are presented.
3.1 Unloading Tractor Mount Float Module
Familiarize yourself with the procedure and prepare the equipment necessary to remove the TM100 from the shipping
container.
DANGER
To prevent injury to bystanders caused by being struck by machinery, do NOT allow people to stand in the
unloading area.
DANGER
The equipment used for loading or unloading a header must meet or exceed the requirements specified in this
document. Using inadequate equipment may result in chain breakage, vehicle tipping, machine damage or bodily harm
to operators or bystanders.
IMPORTANT:
Two forklifts or suitable lifting vehicles are required for this procedure; one to hold the lifting platform and the other to
pull the float module out from the container.
IMPORTANT:
Forklifts are normally rated with the load centered 610 mm (24 in.) from the back end of forks. To obtain forklift capacity
for a load centered at 1220 mm (48 in.), check with your forklift distributor.
