Stow Wheel Chocks
1.
Verify that the tractor transmission is in Park, and
that the tractor’s parking brake is set (per step 2).
Refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16
Two sets of wheel chocks
(4 chocks total) are provided
to secure the drill when parked. These provide the most
safety when installed ahead and behind the outside front
transport tires.
When not in use, the chocks are stored in holders
mounted on the side frames. The chocks are held in
place by gravity when correctly stowed in the holders.
2.
Remove the chocks from the wheel on one side.
Roll-Away Hazard:
If one chock is extremely difficult to remove, or the drill moves
significantly when the chock is removed, investigate the cause
before removing the chocks on the other side. If no tractor is
hitched, or the tractor is not securely parked, the drill could
roll away after chock removal, and cause an accident resulting
in death, serious injury and substantial property damage.
3.
Store one chock in the bottom of a holder,
upside-right, tall end of chock toward frame.
4.
Store the other chock in the top channel guides of
the holder, upside-down, short end toward frame.
5.
Repeat step 2 through step 4 for the other side.
