ATTACHMENT SYSTEM
Detach NTB from Machine
FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
1. Determine proper storage location to place the NTB once it is unhooked from the machine.
WHERE TO STORE IT? -
When choosing a place to store the attachment, there
are three important things to keep in mind.
First of all, is the ground
level
? The ground must be level to help prevent damage
caused to attachment by falling over. Level ground will also minimize stress on the
frame of the attachment while in storage and ease of attachment hook-up.
Second, is there enough
space
? The NTB attachment is folded up for it to stand
properly but be aware of the room that is needed for the attachment and adequate
space to travel around it safely.
If you are storing the boom in a building, make sure that you have adequate room
around it to safely pass by.
Third, is it
accessible
? The NTB attachment needs to be positioned so you can
connect to the attachment easily.
If temporarily storing the attachment on a soft surface, such as grass, you may
want to put blocks or wood under the coulters to prevent the attachment from
sinking into the ground. It is NOT recommended to store an NTB attachment on a
soft surface for an extended period of time due to the risk of settling soil even when
blocks are used.
2. Lower the NTB down to the level storage location.
*NTB attachment should be in the folded position.
