Connect the applicator to the tow vehicle using a hitch pin and make sure a retaining pin is secured in the
hitch pin. Always attach the safety chains to the applicator and the tow vehicle.
WARNING
–
Before unhooking the applicator, empty contents from tank, block wheels, unpin
the jack from storage position, and lock it in the usage position. Lower the jack stand to the ground
until the weight of the applicator is transferred to the jack. Keep hands and feet away from the jack
stand when lowering.
Remove the hitch pin and unhook the safety chains.
WARNING
–
Always relieve hydraulic system pressure before disconnecting hoses from tractor
or servicing hydraulic system. See the tractor’s operating manual for proper procedures. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses. Install
dust covers over the hose plugs and outlets.
When not in use, the jack handle is stored under the tongue, as
pictured to the right.
When not in use, lock the stub wing in place with the keeper pin
provided. This will keep the stub wings from unfolding when
temperatures fluctuate and cause thermal expansion in the
hydraulic system.
