Maintenance Lift Lock

Crush and Pinch Hazards; Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not rely on hydraulics to hold the implement at lift. Use the
maintenance lift locks provided. Unlocked lift cylinders settle
over time. Implement sections can crush anyone working
under them. Implement links can pinch or crush anyone work-
ing near them.

Do not rely on the transport lift lock to hold the wings at
raised. Use the gauge wheel lock channels provided. Unlocked
gauge wheel cylinders settle over time. Outer wing openers
can crush anyone working under them. Openers at wing gaps
can pinch anyone working between them. Opener damage is
also possible.

Locks, including gauge wheel cylinder locks, are pro-
vided to hold all implement sections at raised for mainte-
nance, and for raised unfolded storage. The gauge wheel
lock channels are not used in routine operations (field or
transport).
