WARNING!
Do not tow this machine on a roadway. If
transport to another location is required, secure
it to the bed of a licensed truck or trailer.
7.1 Use the Handles
IMPORTANT! Turn off the engine before moving or tilting
the machine. Tilting the engine causes the fluid levels to
change and the oil level may become low. Operating an
engine with a low oil level can damage the engine.
IMPORTANT! When you move the machine, avoid sharp
turns. Sharp or abrupt turns can damage the tires.
The machine has two handles, one on each side of the feed
hopper. Use the handles to move the machine. The machine is
balanced for ease of movement.
1. Stop the machine.
For instructions, see
Stop the Machine on page 27 .
2. Hold both of the handles.
3. Carefully, push the feed hopper down to lift the support
stand off the ground.
4. Roll the machine forward or backward to move it to the
required location.
5. Carefully, raise the feed hopper until the support stand is on
the ground.
Make sure that the machine is parked firmly on level ground
during operation.
