Transporting the Machine
The stump cutter should not be transported in a pickup truck
bed. The preferred method is towing it on a Rayco trailer
(available from Rayco). Comply with all local laws dealing
with the towing of a trailer.
Before towing the machine on the Rayco trailer (optional
equipment), make sure of the following:
1. The trailer is hitched to the towing vehicle with the safety
pin in place, safety chains are in use, and the jack is
raised and pivoted away from the ground.
2. The tail lights on the trailer are operating properly and
the loading ramps are raised and held up by the lock
bars and retaining pins.
3. The machine lock pin is installed to prevent the machine
from falling off the trailer
While traveling with the machine loaded and secured
according to the list above, position the control panel to the
farthest slot as shown in the picture. This will help prevent
any type of wind catching the glass windshield that could
potentionally cause damage to the machine.
