the support legs in the transport position!

2. Never allow anyone to sit or travel on the digger when moving it.
3. The digger is not a trailer. Do not carry any load on it.
4. Ensure that the digger is carefully secured to the vehicle before towing.
5. Ensure that the boom of the digger is up and centered. Turn the bucket and boom in when moving
the digger.
