2.2. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY
• Check with local authorities regarding
transport on public roads. Obey all
applicable laws and regulations.
• Always travel at a safe speed. Use
caution when turning corners or
meeting traffic.
• Use extreme care and minimum
ground speed when operating or
transporting on hillsides, over rough
ground, or near ditches or fences.
• Make sure the SMV (slow moving
vehicle) emblem and all the lights and
reflectors that are required by local
authorities are in place, are clean,
and can be seen by all traffic.
• Do not allow riders on the equipment
or towing vehicle during transport.
• Keep away from overhead and buried
power lines / gas lines. Arcing and
possible electrocution can occur with-
out direct contact.
• Ensure that tires are inflated to the
manufacturer's recommended pres-
sure.
• Before transporting, position the
impact head into the fully retracted
position. On skid steer / 3pt center
mast units, ensure transport locks
have hairpins installed with the mast
centered and top cylinder retracted.
• Consult local utility companies before operating machine near overhead or
buried power lines / gas lines.
• Review the work safety area diagram (Figure 2.2, Figure 2.3) before trans-
porting.
• Ensure that all of the support legs of the skid steer or 3pt pounder are set
firmly on the ground before using pounder.
