TRANSPORTATION
LOADING
1. Raise the loader support brackets and engage the retaining pin in the top hole of the loader
channel.
2. Secure the loader to the loader support bracket with the gravity hook.
3. Position the unit so that the back of the machine comes into contact with the tailgate or vehicle
bed.
4. Release the gravity hook and slide the loader down until it comes into contact with the tailgate
or vehicle bed. Then, re-position the loader support bracket so that the retaining pin is in the
rst available hole above the loader.
5. Release the locking pin and pull the T-handle out until the locking pin engages the hole in the
end of the T-handle.
6. Lift up on the T-handle using the loader as a pivot until the unit rotates to a horizontal position
in the vehicle bed.
7. Push the base of the unit towards the front of the vehicle bed. The machine will slide on the
loader until the rear wheels are on the bed. The unit may then be rolled on the rear wheels and
upper casters.
8. Re-turn the T-handle to the stored position making sure that the locking pin engages the T-
handle.
9. Secure the unit with suitable tie straps using the forklift pockets located under the base of the
tilt back frame.

To prevent damage to the mast assembly, do not place
rope or tie straps across the mast assembly when secur-
ing the unit for transportation.
DO NOT overtighten the rope or tie straps otherwise
damage to the machine will result.
UNLOADING
1. Unsecure the unit.
2. Release the locking pin and pull the T-handle out until the locking pin engages the hole at the
end of the T-handle.
3. Roll the unit back until the rear wheels are off the edge of the tailgate or vehicle bed.
4. Pull downward on the T-handle allowing the unit to slide on the loader.
• As the unit stops sliding on the loader, it will pivot on the loader to an upright position.
• Gradually counterbalance the unit’s weight by applying an upward force on the T-handle.
This allows the unit to settle gently on the wheels avoiding undue impact on the unit.
5. Return the T-handle to the stored position making sure that the locking pin engages the T-han-
dle.
