LOADING & SECURING FOR TRANSPORT 15.0
Loading & Securing Handler For Transport
1. Level the material handler prior to loading.
2. Using a spotter, load the handler with boom as low as possible to keep a low
center of gravity.
3. Once loaded, apply parking brake and lower boom until boom or attachment
is resting on deck. Move all controls to “Neutral,” stop engine and remove
ignition key.
4. Secure machine to deck by passing chains through two tie-down lugs on
front and rear of machine. (See Figures 15-1 & 15-2)
5. Do not lower stabilizers or tie down front of boom.
WARNING !
Before loading handler for
transport, make sure deck, ramps
and handler wheels are free of mud,
snow and ice. Failure to do so could
cause handler to slide, resulting in
an accident causing serious injury
or death.
