6.2 - TOWING
The aerial work platform trailer includes a single axle, 5,08 cm (2 inch) ball hitch, hydraulic
surge brakes, mechanical parking brake, safety chains, brake lights and side marker lights.
Proper aerial work platform transport requires the proper attachment and inspection of these
components before towing.
Verify the following before towing the aerial work platform. Make adjustments as necessary. :
• The TONGUE JACK / DOLLY WHEEL and outriggers are in their travel positions. The
TONGUE JACK / DOLLY WHEEL is rotated up so that the TONGUE JACK / DOLLY WHEEL
assembly is parallel with the tongue tube; the outrigger cylinders are fully retracted.
• Both travel latches (boom and platform) are engaged, securing the boom in its fully "stowed"
positions.
• All on-board equipment is secured.
• The key switch is in the OFF position. Remove the key.
• Prior to towing, move the fuel shut-off lever to the left position(lever is located on the engine
below the choke lever). Failure to close the fuel shut-off valve before towing boom may result
in engine damage. (For gas model only. )
• The parking brake is disengaged. When the parking brake is engaged, it is parallel with the
tongue tube; when disengaged, it is perpendicular to the tongue.
• The trailer tires are adequately and evenly inflated. See the side wall of the tire for proper
inflation.
Periodically check the Wheel Nut torque according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Refer
to the Monthly Service check section, in the Equipment Maintenance section of the manual.
NEVER tow an aerial work platform with worn or damaged wheel components.
Prior to towing, while the trailer wheels are elevated for aerial work platform operation, inspect for loose
wheels and for wheel lug wear. If a loose wheel mounting is suspected, remove and inspect wheel lugs for
damage.
Obtain, read and obey all recommendations set forth by the tow vehicle manufacturer before attempting
to transport aerial work platformVerify that aerial work platform weight does not exceed the vehicle’s
towing capacity. Exceeding the tow vehicle’s rated capacity may result in damage to tow vehicle or aerial
work platform.
