TRANSPORTING
Follow all local government regulations that may apply along with recommended tie down points and any
equipment safety precautions at the front of this handbook when transporting your attachment.
TIE DOWN POINTS
• Tie down points are identified by tie down decals where required. Securing to trailer at other points is unsafe
and can damage attachment.
• Do not attach tie down accessories around cylinders or in any way that may damage hoses or hydraulic
components.
• Attach tie down accessories to unit as recommended.
• Check unit stability before transporting.
Verify that all tie down accessories (chains, slings, ropes, shackles and etc.) are capable of maintaining attach-
ment stability during transporting and are attached in such a way to prevent unintended disengagement or shifting
of the unit. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.

one is behind equipment or within 20ft (6m) of it operating.
