√ Common sense and planning must be
applied to control the movement of the machine
when lifting it with a crane or forklift.
√ The transport vehicle must be parked on a
level surface.
√ The transport vehicle must be secured to
prevent rolling while the machine is being
loaded.
√ Be sure the vehicle capacity, loading
surfaces and chains or straps are sufficient to
withstand the machine weight. See the serial

√ The machine must be on a level surface or
secured before releasing the brakes.
√ Do not drive the machine on a slope that
exceeds the slope or side slope rating. See
Driving on a Slope in the Operating Instructions
