Transport Lift
1.
Fold the drill (unless this lift is for maintenance or
adjustment). See “Folding” on page 24.
2.
If the Two Outlet conversion kit is installed, a selector
valve near the hitch must be operated to switch
between Transport Lift and Opener Lift. See “Lift
Selector Valve Operation” on page 43.
3.
Supply oil to the base (extend) ends of the Transport
Lift cylinders.
Refer to Figure 18
4.
Leave the circuit extended until mainframe lift is
complete, the transport hooks have engaged, the
wing ends are lifted off the ground, and the front box
lift cylinder is fully extended.
Refer to Figure 19
5.
Swing the locks up and onto the transport lift cylin-
ders. They are temporarily held in place with polymer
bumpers. They are firmly held in place when the cyl-
inder is relaxed in step 7.
6.
Rotate cylinder lock channel over rod on front box lift
cylinder.
Note: Bumpers hold the transport lift cylinder lock chan-
nels in place temporarily. The channels will remain
in position when cylinders settle against channels.
7.
Slowly reverse the Transport Lift circuit lever until all
three lock channels are resting firmly on the rod
ends of the transport lift and box lift cylinders. Set cir-
cuit lever to off.
The drill is now ready for the pre-transport checklist. See
“Transport” on page 26.
Transport
Loss of Control Hazard:
Towing the drill at high speeds or with a vehicle that is not
heavy enough could lead to loss of vehicle control. Loss of
vehicle control could lead to serious road accidents, injury
and death. To reduce the hazard:
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph).
Do not tow a drill that, when fully loaded, weighs more than
1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
In the following table, multiply the total drill weight by
0.67 (
2
⁄
3
) to determine minimum tractor weight.
