Execute the Unload
Hoist Unload
Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6
Recommended line attachment points vary with imple-
ment configuration. Key objectives are:
• Use four attach points for safety.
• Use attach points inboard of the wing pivots.
• Use implement structures designed for the implement
weight (such as main frame joints or stand mounts).
• Keep the implement center of gravity inside the four
lines.
• Attach so that lines cannot slip toward center.
• Use lines that are individually rated for at least half the
load.
• Secure lines to implement to avoid implement dam-
age.
Hoist Unload Steps:
1.
Support the implement with the hoist.
2. Release the straps or chains securing the implement
to the trailer bed. Remove loose stands.
3. To avoid hazards associated with swinging loads, lift
the implement, and have the truck driven out from
under it.
4. Lower the implement to the ground.
