TURFCO T3100 APPLICATOR
Transporting the Machine to the Worksite
Whether you use trailers, carriers or a pickup, loading and unloading the T3100 Applicator is very easy using
the hydrostatic drive. Just approach the load area or ramps, get off the machine and slowly walk it into or onto
the transport device. Never, repeat never attempt to ride the machine while loading.
Unloading is just the opposite as loading. Walk slowly with the machine using the speed control to move the
machine. Do not attempt to drive the machine down ramps, carriers or trailers while riding the machine.
If you need to push the machine by hand, the transaxle has a freewheel “neutral” position so the machine
can be moved without starting the engine. Just place the transmission neutral lever in the freewheel position
and it will make the machine free wheel so you can move the machine by pushing it. WARNING - When the
freewheel lever is in the neutral position, the machine can roll away on ramps and slopes. Use the
parking brake to secure the machine.
Always use the frame when you tie the machine for transport. Do not attach ties to the fertilizer hopper, tanks
or other parts of the machine. Only use the frame for transport tie down.
Loading and Unloading using Ramps
1. Position the machine at the bottom of the ramps.
2. The operator should be off the machine standing behind the operators platform.
3. Using the Speed Control Lever slowly advance the machine forward and up the ramps into the trailer, truck
or carrier. The operator will remain off the machine the entire time.
4. Unloading is the same process. The operator will remain off the machine slowly walking the machine
down the ramps.
