Follow these steps when parking the implement for peri-
ods of less than 36 hours. For longer periods, see Stor-
age, the next topic.
1. Position the implement on firm, level ground.
2. Raise, fold and lock implement (page 28 and
page 25).
Note: Static tongue weight of a loaded, lowered, and
unhitched implement can be as much as 225 kg.
Negative Tongue Weight Hazard:
If the rear parking jack is not set, an unhitched Turbo-Chisel.
can tip over backwards during hitching and unhitching result-
ing in severe injury or death. If the Turbo-Chisel has a rear
attachment, make sure the rear parking jack is in the parking
position, before attempting to hitch or unhitch from tractor.
