4. Remove the pin
securing the left end of the
walkboard to the ladder assembly.
5. Swing the walkboard open, and secure it at full open
with the keeper

wheels to move forward, providing closer access for
the lifter.

causes the rear transport wheels to caster forward,
further reducing the reach required for lifting.

Remove key.
10. Close the slide gate at the base of the hopper or
seed box.
