Operation

Operating Characteristics

The machine has balance, weight, and handling characteristics
that may be different from other types of pulled equipment.
Read this Operator's Manual carefully.
With an option mounted, be aware of the ground clearance
when traveling on hills. For a machine mounted on a
tow-behind chassis, the ground clearance is 13 inches (33
cm) unloaded. For a machine mounted on a Truckster direct
connect chassis, the ground clearance is 17 inches (43 cm)
unloaded.
Important: Before loading the machine on or off of a
trailer, remove the option to avoid damaging it.
Connecting the Machine to a
Tow Vehicle
WARNING
Do not stand between the machine and the tow
vehicle during coupling.
1. Adjust the hitch height by turning the jack stand
handle(s) to keep the machine level.
Important: The hitch pin must be high-strength
and approved for tow vehicles.
2. Connect the clevis-style hitch of the machine to the
tow vehicle using a 3/4 in (18 mm) diameter hitch
pin and safety clip. Install the hitch pin through the
machine hitch and the tow-vehicle draw bar on the
tow-behind chassis or through the supplied hitch
mount on Truckster direct connect.
3. Lower the hitch using the jack stand(s).
4. When the full weight of the machine has been
transferred to the tow-vehicle draw bar from the jack
stand(s), pull the pin holding the jack stand(s) in place.
5. Store the jack stand(s) as follows:
•
On tow-behind chassis turn the jack stand 90
degrees counter-clockwise until the bottom of the
jack stand points to the rear of the machine. This
is the traveling position.
•
On Truckster direct connect chassis move the jack
stands to the rear of the machine and turn them 90
degrees until the bottom of both jack stands points
to the center of the machine. This is the traveling
position
6. Attach the pressure hose and the return hose to the
correct hydraulic outputs on the tow vehicle. The
return hose has an inline check valve. If you reverse
the hoses, some machine functions may run backwards
or not work at all. Test the hydraulics before operating
the machine for the first time.
Important: Do not allow the hydraulic lines, the
power cable, and the pendant cables to drag on the
ground. Avoid locations where they could become
pinched or cut.
7. Plug the intermediate wire harness into the tow vehicle
power connector.
8. Check the hydraulic oil level in the tank and add more
to fill it, if necessary. (See the tow vehicle's owner's
manual).
