MANUAL-75-v2.0 53 of 82
In order to transport the unit using a flat-bed or goose-neck trailer, follow these
guidelines:
l Make sure the trailer and unit are fit for purpose and loaded correctly.
l Place the unit level to the flat-bed and evenly distribute the weight across
each axle.
l Support the tongue of the unit with the supplemental jack stand provided
with the unit. To prevent damage during transit, do not support the tongue
with just the tongue jack.
l Choose the proper securing method.
l Securely tie down the unit with straps or chains to prevent shifting or
movement during transportation. Position the straps to support the weight
of the unit and prevent undercarriage damage.
l The chains or straps tension must not load each axle more than 7,000lbs
(including the unit weight); vertical tie down force shall not exceed 2,000
lbs per axle.
l Use a wheel chock on both sides of each wheel to prevent movement
during transportation.
l To secure the trailer tongue, use the supplemental jack stand provided with
the unit.
l The load restraint system needs to secure the unit to the vehicle chassis
and prevent movement in any direction.
l Choose a securing system that stops the unit moving without creating other
risks.
l Any chains or webbing must be attached to the D-rings on the trailer.
WARNING
Risk of crushing from moving parts!
Do not drive or move the transport vehicle without securing the
unit.
l
Use adequate load restraint.
l
Dynamic forces are much higher than static forces. For example, more
force is required to secure a load when it is moving (dynamic) than when it
is stationary (static).
