Driving or Winching onto or o󰀨 of a Transport Vehicle
Before loading the machine, orient the turntable so that the platform is over the non-steering wheels
so that the Rotation Lock may be engaged later in the loading process.
ONLY properly trained and qualied operators shall load and unload this
machine.
Read and understand all safety, control, and operating information found
on the machine and in this manual before operating the machine.
Whether winching or driving the machine on to a truck or trailer, always
check the area for dangerous situations before moving the machine.
If driving the machine, always use a second person acting as a spotter to
make sure the person loading the machine avoids dangerous situations.
Driving

turning it clockwise.
• Enter the platform and reset the Platform Emergency Stop Switch.
• Test platform control functions.
• Raise the jib slightly for platform ground clearance.
• Carefully drive the machine o󰀨 or on to the transport vehicle.
• Make sure you can see the second person giving guidance.
Note:The brakes are automatically released for driving and will automatically apply when the control
lever is returned to neutral which causes the machine to stop.
