Operating Instructions38RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TILT-UP DECKOPERATION/TRANSPORTTo avoid potential deck and/or tractor damage whileusing 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 backof the deck) and the GHS discharge chute may bedamaged by moving the tractor. The tilt-up configu-ration should only be used when the tractor isparked.• The tractor body should never be tilted for-ward with the deck in the tilt-up position. This cancause the deck to unhook from the tractor and fallwith considerable force, potentially causing deck ortractor damage and/or bodily injury.• When transporting a tractor with the deck in thetilt-up position (on a truck or trailer), the deckshould be secured to the vehicle with a strap orrope (stop vertical movement). This will prevent thedeck from bouncing on the rear roller wheels (caus-ing breakage). This will also prevent the deck fromunhooking from the tractor and falling, potentiallycausing deck or tractor damage. Damage to otheritems parked in front of the deck may also occur.
