Walkboard and Ladder
The cart walkboard is used for:
• access to the tank lid for clean-out,
• access to the tank lid for top-loading, and;
• access to the planter ladder (model YP2425 only) for
planter operations.
No Riders:
Allow no one on the ladder or walkboard during cart move-
ment. The railings are designed to act as guards only when
parked. The cart is subject to sudden and unpredictable jolts
and sways, and the railings may fail to protect a rider. If mate-
rial is loaded in the tank, there is also some risk of small
amounts escaping the lid vent and reaching the walkboard
during braking and in rough conditions.
Ladder Operation
Refer to Figure 12
To lower the ladder, pull the spring-loaded pin
to cart
rear and pull the top of the free end of the ladder away
(right) from the cart.
To raise the ladder, merely swing it up. The pin automati-
cally engages as the ladder is fully raised.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Ladder must be locked up before transport or field operations
or machine damage may occur if the ladder strikes obstruc-
tions.
