• When the wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised and the possibility
of overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use extreme caution when turning on hillsides.
Overturning the implement could cause the implement to overturn the tractor and vice versa

overturn.

property damage or possible injury. Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and
in the latched transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to
