Pull-Type Units
There are three methods of storing pull-type units:
•
Position unit on a flat level surface. Raise pull hitch
up until unit is resting on its rear wheels and
scrapers as shown in Figure 3-3. Use auxiliary
supports or posts if necessary to prevent the
possibility of the unit tipping over. Chock front and
back of wheels.
•
Position unit on a flat level surface. Raise pull hitch
up until the unit is resting on its rear roller and
scrapers as shown in Figure 3-4. Ensure unit is
stable. Use auxiliary supports or posts if necessary
to prevent the possibility of the unit tipping over.
Chock front and back of roller.
•
Do not leave unit resting on its wheels (transport
position) and hitch support. The hitch can develop
negative weight and swing up on its own. Instead,
position unit on a flat level surface. Rotate hitch up
and over 180
o
until unit is resting on the hitch
support and rear roller as shown in Figure 3-5.
Ensure unit is stable by chocking the front and back
of roller.
3-Point Lift Units
•
Position unit on a flat level surface. Lower 3-Point
hitch until the rear roller and support stand are
resting on the ground. Ensure that the unit is stable.
Chock rear roller if needed especially if unit is not on
level ground.
