Machine Operation
FIG. A
LOADING/UNLOADING
• Always remove blade and cutting head when machine is being moved or trans-
ported
• Cutting head and slide plate can be removed to make the machine more compact.
• NEVER leave machine unattended on an incline.
• Removing added weights help to make the machine easier and safer to move in
and out of a vehicle.
DOCK HEIGHTS
It is best to load or unload the machine from a level/equal dock height (a van from a van
dock height, a truck/semi from a regular dock height).
POWER-GATE
A power-gate can be used when the dock height is not available. Make sure gate is
properly rated for 2300 lb. Make certain the machine is secure so it does not roll off the
power-gate. To better secure machine, raise machine onto the lowered cutting head, rais-
ing machine off the caster. Tie machine down, chock wheels.
RAMPS
To be safe, the ramp needs to be long enough to accommodate the machine being load-
ed/unloaded. Remove added weight. Make sure ramp is secured. Do not have at a steep
incline. The use of a power winch or hand come-a-long is much safer. For a van, the
ramp should be 12 to 18 feet in length depending on the depth of the incline. For truck
height taller than a van, longer ramps will be needed. See OSHA guidelines. It is not
recommended to drive the machine on a ramp. Make sure ramp is secure and has good
contact before using. Failure to do so could cause ramp to fall away from the vehicle.
NOTE:
SEE CORRECT AND SAFE OPERATING ANGLES AND CENTER OF GRAVITY ON PAGE 11.
FORKLIFT CUPS
There are two forklift cups mounted under the front of the machine (See Figure C).
Slide fork lift forks through forklift cups. Slide forks all the way back to touch the rear tire
(See Figure D). Before lifting machine, secure machine to fork lift with heavy 3000 lb. or
heavier rope or chain. Tilt forks back to lift machine (See Figure E).
WINCHES
Winches should be used for safety when loading or unloading with ramps. 2000 lb winch
minimum.
TRANSPORTING
Secure machine down with ratchet straps when transporting the machine. Chock wheels
to keep machine from rolling, hydraulic levers should not be locked in the forward or
backward position. Hydraulic levers should be straight up in the “neutral” position. This
helps to lock drive wheels. Lift machine off swivel caster by lowering cutting head for
better stabilization. Proper securing straps need to be rated at least twice the weight of
the machine.

FIG. E
WARNING:
MACHINE HAS A SWIVEL FRONT CASTER. NEVER SIDE HILL (SEE
FIGURE A). THE MACHINE ON A INCLINE WITHOUT POWER, THE FRONT CASTER
WILL CAUSE MACHINE TO SWING TO THE LOWEST POINT. IF IT IS NECESSARY
TO RUN MACHINE ON AN INCLINE, RUN MACHINE ON CUTTING HEAD. PLACE
AT LEAST A 8’’ CUTTING HEAD IN MACHINE. TO KEEP FROM DAMAGING FLOOR, CLAMP A
PIECE OF CARPET INTO CUTTING HEAD TO SLIDE ON THE FLOOR. THIS WILL GIVE POSITIVE
CONTACT WITH THE FLOOR WHEN POWER IS DISENGAGED FROM THE WHEELS.
Caution Do Not “ Side Hill ”
Caution: Machine is back heavy, do
not run on steep incline. This could
cause the machine to tip over.
Fork Lift Cup
Forks on forklift should go
back to the rear wheel
