RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TILT-UP DECK

OPERATION/TRANSPORT

To avoid potential deck and/or tractor damage while

using the tilt-up deck, the following recommenda-

tions are offered:

•

Do not move the tractor with the deck in the tilt-

up position since both the roller wheels (on the back

of the deck) and the GHS discharge chute may be

damaged by moving the tractor. The tilt-up configu-

ration should only be used when the tractor is

parked.

•

The tractor

body should never be tilted for-

ward with the deck in the tilt-up position. This can

cause the deck to unhook from the tractor and fall

with considerable force, potentially causing deck or

tractor damage and/or bodily injury.

•

When transporting a tractor with the deck in the

tilt-up position (on a truck or trailer), the

deck should

be secured to the vehicle with a strap or rope (stop

vertical movement). This will prevent the deck from

bouncing on the rear roller wheels (causing break-

age). This will also prevent the deck from unhooking

from the tractor and falling, potentially causing deck

or tractor damage. Damage to other items parked

in front of the deck may also occur.
