Stow Wheel Chocks
21. Verify that the tractor transmission is in Park, and
that the tractor’s parking brake is set (per step 2).
Refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16
Two sets of wheel chocks
(4 chocks total) are provided
to secure the drill when parked. These provide the safety
when installed ahead and behind the transport tires.
When not in use, the chocks are stored in holders
mounted under each end of the walkboard. The chocks
are held in place by gravity when correctly stowed in the
holders.
22. Remove the chocks from the wheel on one side.
Roll-Away Hazard:
If one chock is extremely difficult to remove, and/or the drill
moves significantly when the chock is removed, investigate the
cause before removing the chocks on the other side. If no
tractor is hitched, or the tractor is not securely parked, the
drill could roll away after chock removal, and cause an
accident resulting in death, serious injury and substantial
property damage.
23. Store one chock in the bottom of a holder,
upside-right, tall end of chock toward frame.
24. Store the other chock in the top channel guides of
the same holder, upside-down, short end toward
frame.
25. Repeat step 22 through step 24 for the other side.
