adequate size and capacity for weight of machine and
attachment / implement combination. (See machine and
attachment Operation & Maintenance Manuals for

Loading
•
The rear of the trailer must be blocked or supported
when loading and unloading to prevent the front of

attachment / implement combination first.

Lower the attachment / implement to the floor.
•
Turn the machine off.
•
Engage the parking brake (if equipped).

Exit the machine. (See the machine’s Operation
& Maintenance Manual for the correct
procedure.)
Fastening
•
Install the chains at the front and rear tie-down
positions on the machine. (See the machine’s
Operation & Maintenance Manual to properly chain
the machine to the transport vehicle.)
•
Install chains on the attachment / implement (if
required).
•
Fasten each end of the chain to the transport
vehicle.
NOTE:
Use chain binders to prevent the attachment
/ implement and machine from moving
during transport.
