TION
If trailer is not perfectly level, the boom will tend to swing towards the lower side. Have other
personnel ready to control its swinging motion when cylinder pin is removed. Make sure the
personel are not in a position to be hit or crushed by a swinging boom.
Retract swivel cylinder and secure to main frame. Pivot boom forward to the center of flat bed. Lower deck onto
the trailer bed, and shut off the tractor. The tractor and the mower head should now be chained down securely
to the trailer bed.
If any part of this operating section, or any other section of this manual is not completely
understood, contact your Tiger dealer or the address on the cover of this manual for
assistance!
Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the
chains are pulling downward and against
themselves. Carefully tighten the securing chains or
other fasteners using boomers or binders to apply
maximum tension. Use extreme care when
attaching and removing the securing devices as the
extreme tension involved when released has the
potential to inflict serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and implement, make
occasional stops to check that the tractor and
implement have not moved or shifted and that the
securing chains have maintained tension. If during
transport a hard braking, sharp turning, or swerving
action was performed, stop at the next safe location
to inspect the security of the load.
