Pre-Transport Checklist
Before transporting the cart, check and observe the
following items.
❑ Make sure the weight of the tractor equals or
exceeds 67% your air drill assembly. Be sure to
include hopper contents if materials are pre-loaded,
and markers. If weights are added to the tractor or
drill, or to reach the tractor-weight figure, make sure
the grand total weight including tractor is still within
the rated capacity of the tractor.
❑ Auger Latch
Properly pin and latch auger to cart and rear storage
arm before transporting.
See “Storing Auger” on page 23.
❑ Hopper Lids
Closed and secured.
See “Lid Closing” on page 20.
❑ Transport Locks
Check that all implement transport locks are securely
in place.
❑ Tires
Check that all tires are properly inflated as listed on
“Tire Inflation Chart” on page 107.
❑ Bystanders
Check that no one is in the way before moving. Do
not allow any one to ride on the cart or implement.
❑ Warning Lights
Always use tractor, cart and implement warning
lights when transporting the air drill.
❑ Clearance
Know the maximum dimensions of the cart and
implement in transport position and follow a route
that provides adequate clearance from all
obstructions, including overhead lines.
See “Specifications and Capacities” on page 107.
❑ Stopping Distance
Allow sufficient stopping distance and reduce speed
prior to any turns or maneuvers. If the cart is
transported full, allow extra stopping distance.
❑ Road Rules
Comply with all national, regional and local laws
when transporting on public roads.
❑ Watch Traffic
The bins obstruct a portion of your rear view. Be
prepared for sudden maneuvers from following
vehicles.
