Transport Instructions
Observe and Obey:
Common sense and planning must be applied to
control the movement of the machine when
lifting it with a crane or forklift.
The transport vehicle must be parked on a level
surface.
The transport vehicle must be secured to
prevent rolling while the machine is being
loaded.
Be sure the vehicle capacity, loading surfaces
and chains or straps are sufficient to withstand
the machine weight. See the serial plate for the
machine weight.
The machine must be on a level surface or
secured before releasing the brakes.
Securing to Truck or Trailer for
Transit
Always chock the machine wheels in preparation
for transport.
Use the tie points on the drive chassis for
anchoring down to the transport surface.
Use the lower platform mount between the boom
end and the platform to secure the boom from side-
to-side movement. Do not use excessive downward
force when securing the boom section.
Use chains or straps of ample load capacity.
Turn the key switch to the off position and remove
the key before transporting.
Inspect the entire machine for loose or unsecured
items.
Brake Release Operation
1 Chock the wheels to prevent the machine from
rolling.
2 Be sure the winch line is properly secured to
the drive chassis tie points and the path is clear
of all obstructions.
3 Turn the brake release knob counterclockwise to
open the brake valve.
4 Pump the brake release pump knob
approximately 20 times until resistance is felt.
The brakes are now released.
After the machine is loaded:
1 Chock the wheels to prevent the machine from
rolling.
2 Turn the brake release knob clockwise to reset
the brakes.
Due to the low ground clearance of the machine,
the maximum break-over angle for loading and
unloading is shown for each model.
