Figure 8. Wheel Lift Lever
Figure 7. Connection to Tow Vehicle
To connect the Equipter to the tow vehicle it is easiest to drive it into position although the tow vehicle
can also be backed under the hitch similar to a standard trailer hook-up.
The outriggers must be fully raised before driving or towing the Equipter.

1. Using all applicable safety procedures,
start the engine. Refer to the section on
Engine Operation.
2. Drive the Equipter into a position with the
hitch coupler over the hitch ball. Refer to the
section on Driving the Equipter.
3. Engage Parking Brake.
4. Place steering wheels in straight forward
position.
5. Attach the safety chains to the tow
vehicle.
6. Lower the hitch by disengaging the “wheel
lift safety lock” and moving the “Wheel Lift”
control lever in the “Up” direction. This lowers
the trailer hitch by raising the steering
wheels.
7. Secure the trailer to the ball using the
latch mechanism.
8. After the weight of the trailer is securely
on the tow vehicle, raise the steering wheels
completely. Ensure the wheels are latched by
trying to lower the wheels without releasing
the safety lock lever.
9. To ensure that the drive system has
disengaged, slightly engage the drive lever
in reverse.
10. Turn off the engine.
11. Raise the operator’s platform and secure
using the latch provided.
NOTE: If the platform does not latch, check
that the front wheels are fully raised and
safety lock is locked in position.
Always connect Equipter on level ground. If
connecting on level ground is not possible,
use blocking in front of and behind rear
wheels to prevent the machine from rolling.
The steering wheels, when completely
raised, fit inside the frame. They must be in
a straight forward direction for the wheels
to properly fit within the frame. Failure to do
so will result in failure to securely lock the
steering wheels for transport.
The parking brake on the Equipter must
be engaged. After the steering wheels
are completely raised, the drive system is
disengaged and the axle will freewheel.
