TRANSPORTING
If transporting the CSV Variable Width Chip Spreader on
a trailer, the ramp and transporting vehicle must be large
enough to safely handle the size and weight of this large
industrial machine. Only load the chip spreader onto a
trailer with assistance from another person serving as a
ground guide.
Ensure the receiving hopper wings
and spread hopper gate extensions are completely
retracted before loading the machine onto a
transport truck. Also plan the transport route to
avoid low bridges and any other overhead obstacles.
NOTE: The load angle is 11.7 degrees. Anything
more will require use of boards to load the
chip spreader onto a truck trailer.
1. SLOWLY ease the chip spreader up the ramp onto
the transport truck trailer, centering the machine on
the trailer.
2. Block the wheels in both directions.
3. Connect chains to the factory-installed D-Ring ties-
downs on each side of the frame as shown in Figure
4-41 (two behind front tire, one below receiving
hopper). Use enough chains with the strength to
secure this large industrial machine to prevent any
movement during transport.

OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
Dual Operator Stations
An option for dual operator stations is available for the
CSV Variable Width Chip Spreader. (Figure 4-42) Both
operator station platforms can extend and retract. If
equipped with the dual operator stations, you can only
activate one control panel, although the other control
panel maintains some chip spreader functions. (Page
4-8)

Options
Umbrella Option
The umbrella kit option provides shelter from sun and
other weather conditions for the operator. The umbrella
kit assembly includes the mounting bracket and
umbrella frame assembly that can be mounted on either
side of the screed handle.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
The AWD option provides additional traction in all
weather conditions. The tires maintain a better grip
on the road during rain or snow, in mud, and on gravel.
Four-wheel drive provides better torque power for
pulling or low-speed climbing and is especially useful
when operating on loose, low-traction surfaces. All four
wheels turns at the same low speed to power through
nearly any obstacle. Four-wheel drive is also benecial
when hauling heavy loads due to the added road
traction.
