Transport Safety Chain for Transport
Figure 1-12
Transport Safety Chain
Refer to Figure 1-12:
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Transport safety chain must remain hooked to the deck until
ready to extend parallel arms and deck cylinder. Float Switch
must be “OFF” until gauge wheels are resting on the ground.
The transport safety chain (#1) should always be hooked
into the deck chain holder (#2) when cutter is folded up.
Otherwise, the tractor operating levers or control stick
switches could be bumped or hoses could burst allowing
deck to fall and cause damage to cutter, tractor, and
anyone nearby.
When unhooking the transport safety chain, make sure
the arm and deck cylinders are retracted and if available,
the FLOAT detent button is set to off. Do not force
safety chain (#1) out of the holder (#2). If safety chain
does not remove easily, investigate the problem and
correct before continuing.
Refer to Figure 1-13:
Store loose end of safety chain (#1) in jack stand tube
(#2) when unhooked from the deck.

damage when cutter deck or parallel arm contacts a solid
object while moving forward. It does not protect the cutter
while backing up. Always make certain the area behind
the cutter is clear before backing up. See
on page 55 for additional information.
