parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, maintaining or unplugging.
5. BE CAREFUL when working around high pressure hydraulic system.
6. DO NOT ALLOW RIDERS.
7. ALWAYS, make sure that pressure is relieved from hydraulic circuits before servicing or disconnecting from
tractor.
SAFETY DURING TRANSPORT
1. ONLY TOW at a safe speed. Use caution when making corners and meeting traffic.
2. USE transport lock and safety chain between tractor drawbar and rockpicker hitch when transporting on
public roads.
3. If rockpicker is towed on public roadways, hydraulically swing hitch so rockpicker trails directly behind tow-
ing vehicle. Install Transport Lock (8R7890) to prevent cylinder from retracting. The optional solid hitch can
be reversed so rockpicker trails directly behind towing vehicle.
4. COMPLY with local lighting, marking and oversize regulations when transporting on highways.
