Transporting Precautions
• Know the rules, laws, and safety equipment necessary for transporting this
machine on a road or highway.
• Never transport the machine without the transport pin in position to lock the
boom.
• If the machine must travel on public roads, all lights must be in working order
and adjusted correctly. A rotating beacon is recommended.
Wheel And Tire Safety
DO NOT weld to wheel or rim when a tire is installed. Welding will cause an
explosive air/gas mixture that will be ignited with high temperatures. This can
happen to tires inflated or deflated. Removing air or breaking bead is not
adequate. The tire MUST be completely removed from the rim prior to welding.
• Explosive separation of the tire and/or rim parts can cause injury or death.
When tire service is necessary, have a qualified tire mechanic service the tire.
Roll-Over Protective Structure
• Do NOT modify the ROPS in any manner. Unauthorized modifications such as
welding, drilling, cutting, or adding attachments can weaken the structure and
reduce your protection. Replace ROPS if it is subjected to roll-over or damage.
Do not attempt to repair.
