Unload Truck
Refer to Figure 145
Due to the overhanging main transport wheels
, an
end dock or
pit dock
is recommended for unload. If a suitable dock is not
available, contact the factory for hoist instructions.
1. With the trailer at the dock, remove all uncrated
components shipped on the trailer deck
.
2. Any crated components may be removed at any
time.
3. Hitch the planter to a tractor or tug to prevent
movement after tie-down release.
If the planter has the optional hydraulic tongue
(not shown), see “Local Float on Hydraulic
Tongue” on page 16.
4. Release all tie downs.
5. Carefully tow the planter off the deck. Move it to a
flat, level location with sufficient room to allow later
unfolding.

Equipment Damage Risk:
If the trailer bed will be fully depressed into a pit dock, release
tie downs, except at wing casters
, before the transport
wheels contact the dock sides. If the planter is left fully tied
down, it could sustain damage, or lift the trailer from the
tractor upon transport wheel contact.
