Pre-Transport Checklist
Before transporting the cart, check and observe the
following items.
❑ Make sure the weight of the tractor equals or
exceeds 67% your air drill assembly. Be sure to
include hopper contents if materials are pre-loaded,
and markers. If weights are added to the tractor or
drill, or to reach the tractor-weight figure, make sure
the grand total weight including tractor is still within
the rated capacity of the tractor.

arm before transporting.

implement in transport position and follow a route
that provides adequate clearance from all
