TRANSPORTING THE MINI-SKID
Important
Never Tow The Mini-Skid Damage May
Result.
When the machine is transported on a
truck or trailer, proper ramps must be
used for loading.
A Mini-Skid with an empty bucket, or
no attachment should be driven
backwards up a ramp onto the trailer or
forward down a ramp, as shown in
Figure 18.
After the Mini-Skid is driven onto the
transporting vehicle, lower any
attachments, and install chains to hold
Mini-Skid from moving during sudden
stops or when traveling up and down
grades.
Close the fuel valve when the Mini-Skid
is to be transported. Vibration during
transport could cause the carburetor to
flood.
