3.16 TIE DOWN/LIFTING
Tie Down
When transporting the machine, the platform extension must be
fully retracted and the platform fully lowered in the stowed mode
with the machine securely tied down to the truck or trailer deck.
Four tie down eyes, one at each corner of the machine frame, are
provided for machine tie-down.
Lifting
The machine may be lifted using a spreader bar and four equal
length straps or chains capable of supporting the full gross
weight of the machine (refer to section 6 for machine gross
weight). Lift only using the four lift lugs provided at the four cor-
ners of the machine.
The machine may also be lifted using a forklift truck. Lift only
using the built in forklift pockets on the side of the machine, and
only with the platform in the stowed position with extensions
retracted. Adjust the width of the forklift tines to properly fit the
machine’s forklift pockets. Slide the forklift tines into the forklift
pockets and carefully lift the machine.
