RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TILT-UP DECK
OPERATION/TRANSPORT
To avoid potential deck and/or tractor damage while
using the tilt-up deck, the following recommenda-
tions are offered:
• Do not move the tractor with the deck in the tilt-
up position since both the roller wheels (on the back
of the deck) and the GHS discharge chute may be
damaged by moving the tractor. The tilt-up configu-
ration should only be used when the tractor is
parked.
• The tractor body should never be tilted for-
ward with the deck in the tilt-up position. This can
cause the deck to unhook from the tractor and fall
with considerable force, potentially causing deck or
tractor damage and/or bodily injury.
• When transporting a tractor with the deck in the
tilt-up position (on a truck or trailer), the deck
should be secured to the vehicle with a strap or
rope (stop vertical movement). This will prevent the
deck from bouncing on the rear roller wheels (caus-
ing breakage). This will also prevent the deck from
unhooking from the tractor and falling, potentially
causing deck or tractor damage. Damage to other
items parked in front of the deck may also occur.
