Transporting The Tractor And Implement - Schulte FX-520 Operator's Manual

When connecting the cutter to the tractor, ensure the PTO support is swung down, and out
of the way.
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off
the Equipment and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the
Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others.
It is critical that driveline clutches slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid implement and/
or tractor damage. If the implement sits outside for an extended period of time or is exposed to rain and/or
humid air, the clutch lining plates must be inspected to ensure they are not frozen together from rust or
corrosion. If the implement has been exposed to such conditions, at the start of each season, and any time it is
suspected that the slip clutch plates may be frozen together, readjust the slip clutch as detailed in Slip Clutch
Maintenance of the maintenance section in this manual.

14. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT

Inherent hazards of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind
when you finish working in an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation
practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By using good judgement and
following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be
substantially minimized. OPS-U- 0017
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
Before transporting the tractor and cutter, idle the
tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all
moving parts to come to a complete stop. Fully
extend the main lift cylinders to raise the deck, and
retract the wing lift cylinders to pull the wings into
transport position.
Transport lock pins are provided for the main lift
and wing lift hydraulic cylinders. When these pins
are inserted in their respective holes, they prevent
the wings or center frame from dropping due to a
hydraulic cylinder or hose failure.
