4.10 TRANSPORTING
Tridekon Extractors are designed to be easily
and conveniently moved from location to loca-
tion. When transporting, follow this procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially
small children before starting.
2. Be sure the Extractor is hitched completely
to the tractor or truck. Always use a safety
chain between the machine and the tow
vehicle and a retainer on the drawbar pin.
3. Keep to the right and yield the right-of-way
to allow faster traffc to pass. Drive on the
shoulder if permitted by law.
4. Make sure all the lights and refectors re-
quired by local highway and transport au-
thorities are in place, clean, in good working
order and clearly visible to all overtaking and
on-coming traffc.
5. Swing the discharge auger straight ahead
and parallel to the frame. Install the dis-
charge auger anchor brackets.
