Locke TVM-3077 - Manual (Page 12)

Transport Lock:
If traveling any distance or when storing the Verti-Cut
unit overnight or longer, always hook the transport
safety chain between the two rear lift arms on TVM-5
or place pin in vertical tower on TVM-3.
NOTE:
When transporting the unit on a truck or trailer, al-
ways block the units securely to take the load off the
lift chains and lift mechanism.
Height Adjustments
These adjustments should be made with the cutter
hooked to the same tractor that will be used for field
operations or one having the same drawbar height,
with cutter on level surface and hitch adjusted so the
main frame is level. Tire pressure will affect working
height. Be sure all tires have the proper pressure as
listed in the “Tire Inflation Chart” below.
ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE, SHUT OFF
TRACTOR, REMOVE KEY AND DISEN-
GAGE PTO BEFORE MAKING ANY
