SECTION 9 –
MISCELLANEOUS
If temporarily storing the attachment on a
soft surface (such as grass), it is
recommended to place blocks or wood
beneath the stands’ feet to prevent the
attachment from sinking into the ground.
NOTE: It is NOT recommended to store the
attachment on a soft surface for an
extended period of time, due to the
risk of settling soil, even when blocks
or wood are used.
Unfolding the Boom for Storage
The booms must be partially open for
stability when unattached from the machine.
Unfold the booms approximately 45
°
while
maintaining sufficient clearance for
repositioning during reattachment. This
position will allow the booms to sit level with
the transom without causing excessive
stress on either part. It will also keep the
weight from shifting too much in either
direction (rearward or forward), which could
cause the boom to tip over and/or difficulty in
connecting or disconnecting the attachment.
1. Press and hold the corresponding Left
and Right Boom Switches (located on
the Hydrostatic Drive Control Handle) in
the UP position to remove boom wings
from cradles.
2. Press and hold the corresponding Left
and Right Boom Switches in the OUT
position to unfold the boom wings until
partially
open.
NOTE: Booms only need to be unfolded far
enough to clear the boom cradles
and lower (e.g. enough to clear the
front tires and allow room for steering
to line up the boom). Do NOT fully
extend.
3. Lower the boom and secure the boom
stands (if equipped) in the DOWN posi-
tion.
See “Boom Stands” elsewhere in this
section for further information.
4. Press and hold the corresponding Left
and Right Boom Switches in the DOWN
position to point boom tips down (until
tips touch the ground).
5. Disengage the Quick-Tach Lock Assem-
blies by pulling the Lock Pins (located on
