7.11 Traveling
(No load in the grapple.)
• Always install transport locks, pins or brackets before
transporting.
• Turn into curves or go up or down hills only at a low
speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain
that at least 20% of the tractor's weight is on the front
wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or
uneven surfaces.
• A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor. Use
extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and
watch out for bumps.
• Never allow riders on either tractor or machine.
1.
Be sure all bystanders are clear of the machine.
2.
Check the machine is securely attached to the tractor and
all retainer pins are installed.

Close the forks. Be aware of grapple head swing. Tie off
grapple head for extended road travel or driving over rough
terrain.

Attach a slow moving vehicle sign at the back of the
grapple. Check tractor lights function properly.

Be sure you follow all applicable lighting and marking
regulations when transporting. Check with your local

7.12 Storage
After the season's use, the machine should be thoroughly
inspected and prepared for storage. Repair or replace any worn
or damaged components to prevent any unnecessary down time
at the start of next season. To insure a long, trouble free life,
this procedure should be followed when preparing the unit for
storage:
• Store the unit in an area away from human activity.
• Do not permit children to play on or around the stored
machine.
• Store the unit in a dry, level area. Support the frame with
planks or wood blocking as required.
1.
Thoroughly wash the machine using a pressure washer
to remove all dirt, mud, debris and residue. Be cautious
when pressure washing around hydraulic and electrical
components, direct pressure could cause damage.
2.
Inspect the cylinder, rotator or pivot and grapple for damage
or entangled material. Repair or replace damaged parts.
Remove all entangled material.
3.
Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
4.
Select a dry, level area and free of debris away from human
activity.
5.
Open the grapple forks to provide maximum stability. Lower
the support legs (if equipped). Make sure snap pins are
securely installed.
6.
Carefully lower grapple and make sure the machine is
stable. Unhook from tractor.
