Lift: Verify Transport Lock
Refer to Figure 21
Crush/Pinch Hazards:
Make sure the transport locks are engaged. Lift and re-lower if
it is not. If the transport locks are not installed, install trans-
port locks, in the transport position the implement will slowly
lower after hydraulic power is removed. If anyone is working
on or under the implement, this could result in serious injury
or death.
Lowering and Raising Turbo-Chisel
Lowering/Raising Safety Information
Crushing Hazard During Lowering:
Stay clear of wings, coulters, shanks, and attachments during
lowering and raising. Wings are extremely heavy and are
driven down with hydraulic pressure. Coulter disk and chisel
points are sharp. During lowering, coulters and chisel points
will cut or crush anything beneath them, and can cause serious
injury or death.
Crushing Hazard While Raised:
Use transport locks (page 28) when working on implement.
Without transport locks, center section and wings are held up
only by hydraulic pressure, and slowly lower over time. They
may lower more rapidly if the hydraulic system is damaged.
They lower rapidly if the hydraulics fail, or the Lift circuit is set
to Float or Retract.
Shoving Hazard:
Chisel length changes during raising and lowering. Injury is
possible.
Implement wheels move forward during raising, and backward
during lowering. Tractor may move in some circumstances.
Set brakes / use park to avoid tractor movement. Remain clear
of all tires and row units during raise and lower.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not lower while any folding or unfolding operations are
under way or partially complete. Coulter disks and chisel
points can dig in or drag on ground and be damaged.
