14.Placing Boom Arm on Boom Arm Rest - For Optional Equipment
Before transporting tractor between locations, idle
the tractor engine, disengage the attached head,
and wait for all head motion to come to a complete
stop. Place the boom in its storage cradle rest
support and then turn the joystick master switch to
the OFF position.
Placing Boom Articulating Arm on Boom Arm Rest
• Extend the dipper section approximately half
way out.
• Bring the Lift to its full height and carefully
swing the boom back until it is just positioned
over the Boom Pin Rest. NOTE: There is a
formed pin on the dipper section that fits onto
the Boom Arm Lug Rest.
• Lower the Lift until the Boom Arm Lug Rest on
the Boom Pin Rest (this may take some re-
adjustment of the dipper section).
• Use your joystick to swivel the head to the
lefthand side so that the head is aligned with
the tractors width (this prevents the head from
protruding from the side of the tractor).
• Place the Master Switch in to the OFF position.
The boom is now in the transport position. To remove the boom from the Boom Rest, pull the Lift back and
raise the boom about 6 inches. Then Swing the boom around to the desired position. OPS-B- 0013_C
BOOM PIN REST
BOOM ARM LUG REST
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway
or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake
pedals should be locked together. Locking the
pedals ensures that both wheels brake
simultaneously while stopping, especially when
making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of
the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road
speeds. Never tow the implement at speeds
greater than 20 MPH (25 kph). OPS-U- 0018
