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 deck shouldbe secured to the vehicle with a strap or rope (stopvertical movement). This will prevent the deck frombouncing on the rear roller wheels (causing break-age). This will also prevent the deck from unhookingfrom the tractor and falling, potentially causing deckor tractor damage. Damage to other items parkedin front of the deck may also occur.5 FTMINIMUMNo Driving Zone
