3. OPERATION
3.10 SECURING AND TRANSPORTING
There are three tie down points provided for securing the
skid steer while transporting. One at the lower front and
two at the rear (Fig. 3.9).
Be sure the trailer and/or truck is of adequate size and
capacity to safely transport your skid steer.
Measure the clearance height of the machine and trailer or
truck, and post it in the cab of the truck.
Before loading the skid steer make sure the ramps and
parking surface are free of all oil, grease, ice, etc. and of
sufficient strength to support the load.
Know the local rules and regulations, and make sure your
truck and trailer is equipped with the correct safety
equipment.
When loading a skid steer with an attachment, always load
the heavy end first.
Once the skid steer has been loaded, lower the attachment
to the floor, stop the engine and engage the park brake.
Install chains at the front and rear tie down locations, and
securely attach to the transport vehicle.
NOTE: Minimum 3/8 in. grade 40 chain is required
