raised) when transporting the machine
Manual for additional information on raising and lowering the transport frame.
When moving the transport frame into the lowered (transport) position, a gas
spring and lift pedal are provided to help raise the chassis off the ground. The
assembly is held in the lowered position by a latch mechanism attached to the
transport frame near the tow bar. During transport, the tow bar includes an auto
hitch slide to lock the machine onto the tow vehicle.
A damper prevents the chassis from lowering too fast when moving the transport
frame into the raised position. The transport frame is held in the raised position
by a latch mechanism attached to the chassis.
