5.1.2 General Inspection
Check to see that no obstructions are present on the trailer prior to use. Be sure that there are not tools laying on the
trailer.
NOTE: The PTO horsepower requirements may not reflect adequate tractor size for towing the machine. Refer
to tractor weight requirements for these recommendations and safety section for additional tractor and
towing requirements.
5.2 HITCHING TO TRACTOR
Move to the operator’s position, start the engine and release the parking brake.
Move the tractor in front of the trailer. Slowly move the tractor backwards towards the trailer and align the drawbar with
the implement’s hitch.
NOTE: Lower or raise the trailer jack to properly align the drawbar and hitch.
Fasten the trailer hitch to the tractor drawbar with a properly sized hitch pin with safety retainer. (Reference ANSI/ASABE
AD6489-3 Agricultural vehicles - Mechanical connections between towed and towing vehicles - Part 3: Tractor drawbar.)
Before operation and after hitching the tractor to the implement, connect the light cords or any optional equipment
connections to the tractor.
5.3 OPERATIONAL CHECKS
Adjust and lubricate equipment as needed. (See Inspection on page 24.) & (See 7.1 LUBRICATION on page 23.)
Inspect the chassis’ axles, o-beams, spindles, tires, hitches, safety
shielding, safety signs and safety lighting regularly. These parts if
not watched closely, could pose potential injury or death. If any part
is found in need of repair, follow the SHUTOFF & LOCKOUT POWER
recommendations and have qualified personnel repair immediately.
Do not allow anyone to stand between the tongue or hitch and the
tractor when backing up to the Trailer.
Before operating the trailer, look in all directions and make sure no
bystanders, especially small children are in the work area.
