machine.

When loading the machine into a trailer or a truck to transport it, put the machine with tines
removed on a pallet and then load and unload the pallet.
Before transportation, fix the machine on board.

For storing the machine detached from the tractor, fix the machine with tines removed on
a pallet and place it on a flat ground.
