Parking Stands
Refer to Figure 10
The parking stands support the front of the cart when
unhitched, and also provide height control during hitch-
ing and unhitching.
Crushing Hazard:
Never remove the parking stand pin
when the cart is sup-
ported solely by the stands. Unless the cart is otherwise immo-
bilized against any movement, the front of the cart may move
forward or backward when the pin is removed, and the arms
will fall to the ground. Anyone in the path of the arms could
suffer serious injury or death.
Raise Stand After Hitching
1. Verify that the cart arms are fully seated in the imple-
ment quick hitch, and that the hitch arms are cor-
rectly latched and pinned (page 12).
2. Operate the jack stand cranks in the counter-
clockwise direction to raise the feet off the ground. It
is not necessary to fully retract the leg extensions.
3. When all weight is off the stand assembly, remove
the lock pin
.
Refer to Figure 11
4.
Swing the stand to the rear, until the lock pin hole
aligns with holes
. Insert pin.
5. To continue setup, skip to topic “Make Fertilizer
Connection” on page 13.
Lower Stand for Unhitching
1. Verify that cart is positioned on firm, dry level
ground. See advisories in the topic “Short-Term
Parking” on page 22.
2. Support the weight of the stand assembly.
3. Remove pin holding stand under walkboard. Swing
stand to vertical. If ground is uneven, it may be nec-
essary to crank up the leg extensions a bit.
4. When stand pin hole aligns with lock hole, insert pin.
5. Operate cranks in the clockwise direction until they
just begin to lift the arms in the quick hitch.
Verify that each jack is supporting a share of the
weight. Operate each until it performs some lifting of
the cart arms at the quick hitch.
6. To continue unhitching, skip to topic “Short-Term
Parking” on page 22.
