bed, too few openers are supporting the entire drill. The load
may spill, with risk of serious injury or death to anyone
nearby, and certainty of major equipment damage.
Load Maneuvering Hazard - Use care and planning when
loading or unloading the drill in trailer transport. The rear
casters may turn and force the drill off the trailer.
