Transport and Lifting Instructions

Observe and Obey:
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 plate for the
machine weight.
Securing to Truck or Trailer for
Transit
Fully lower and retract the boom. Make sure the
boom and mid-pivot rest securely in the mast
cradles.
Securely latch the boom hold-down latches.
Raise all four outriggers to the stowed position.
Always chock the machine wheels in preparation
for transport.
Turn the key switch to the off position and remove
the key before transporting.
Inspect the entire machine for loose or unsecured
items.

Securing the Chassis
Place a block under the tongue.
Place a block on both sides of the axle behind the
wheels.
Use the four tie-down points on the chassis for
anchoring down to the transport surface.
Use chains or straps of ample load capacity.
Use a minimum of 4 chains to secure the chassis.
Adjust the rigging to prevent damage to the chains.
Securing the Boom
Models that are not equipped with a mast cradle at
the mid-pivot must perform the following steps:
Support the secondary boom at the mid-pivot with
a block placed on the floor of the truck bed, not the
tongue of the machine.
Secure the boom with a nylon strap placed over
the secondary boom. Do not use excessive
downward force when securing the boom section.
