Before you start
- Always attach the machine to a winch when loading or unloading from a truck or trailer.
- To avoid damaging the unit, the platform MUST NOT be tied to the trailer bed in any way.
Procedure
- Enter the platform and start the engine using the platform controls; select the OPERATING engine speed.
- Raise the boom to allow greater ground clearance so the platform clears obstacles.
- Using a winch, carefully drive the machine onto the truck or trailer.
- Lock the superstructure to the undercarriage by installing the lock pin provided.
- Ensure the boom is fully retracted and the platform will not contact any other object.
- Disconnect the negative battery cables for long distance transport; close the fuel and hydraulic reservoir valves.
- Tie down using four (4) 1/2 inch Grade 7 chains from each of the tie down lugs; ratchet type load binders are recommended.
