Before tying down tractor with chains secure the
flail wings together with a shipping strap. Refer to
Figure Ops-1465
Arrange the chains so that when tightened the
chains are pulling downward and against
themselves. Carefully tighten the securing chains
or other fasteners using boomers or binders to
apply maximum tension. Use extreme care when
attaching and removing the securing devices as
the extreme tension involved when released has
the potential to inflict serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and implement make
occasional stops to check that the tractor and
implement have not moved or shifted and that the
securing chains have maintained tension. If during
transport a hard braking, sharp turning, or
swerving action was performed, stop at the next
safe location to inspect the security of the load.
