(applies to drills with serial numbers A1059W+

To prevent side movement of the drill when transported
by trailer, the lift-assist casters may be locked in their
full-reversing orientation. The lift assist ONLY locks in
reverse.

Use this feature only for trailer transport. Do not use
these locks for semi-mounted 3-point towing or field
operations.
