To prevent side movement of the drill when transported
by trailer, the lift-assist casters may be locked in their
full-reversing orientation. The lift assist ONLY locks in
reverse.
Use this feature only for trailer transport. Do not use
these locks for semi-mounted 3-point towing or field
operations.

With drill hitched, raise both tractor 3-point lift arms
and lift assist (page 20). Install lift lock channel

Note: On extremely narrow trailer beds, it may be
necessary to lock the casters before moving the
drill onto the trailer. Make sure drill is precisely
aligned for the final move, as maneuverability is
greatly reduced with lock pins in place.

snap into place in the caster plate cutouts when
aligned under each lock tube.

removed from the trailer, unless the trailer bed has

make a full turn.

degrees to hold in the unlock position.
