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 con-
guration 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 (causing break-
age). 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.
