6.1 Transporting
At times, you will most likely need to transport the machine to distant locations
with a transport vehicle. To do this safely, there are some precautions that must
be observed.
When transporting:
1. Always make sure the transport vehicle (trailer or truck) being used to haul
the machine is capable of bearing the weight and size of the machine over
the distance and terrain that will be covered.
2. Secure the machine to the transport vehicle bed, facing the direction of
travel, with heavy chains rated for use with a machine of this nature (size
and weight).
3. Attach the chains to the machine at four points (D-rings), one on each
corner of the chassis and secure to suitable locations on the transport
vehicle (Items A, see photo). Tighten as needed to eliminate possible load
shift during transport.
Note: Close and latch doors and windows, secure any loose items prior to trans-
porting.
