Transport Position (Winged models only)
ALWAYS HAVE THE TRACTOR SWITCHED ON WHEN RAISING THE WINGS INTO TRANSPORT POSITION.
IMPORTANT: The transport locking bars, transport pin and axle ram stopper should always be slotted into place while
transporting the machine. Doing this removes pressure from the hydraulic system. Failure to use the safety equipment
can cause mechanical as well as physical damage.
