LOADING/UNLOADING
FORKLIFT CUPS
There are two forklift cups mounted under the front of the machine (See Figure A). Slide fork lift forks
through forklift cups. Slide forks all the way back to touch the rear tire (See Figure B). Before lifting
machine, secure machine to fork lift with heavy 3000 lb. or heavier rope or chain. Tilt forks back to lift
machine (See Figure C).
WARNING: Never tilt machine forward. It could slide off fork lift forks.
WINCHES
Winches should be used for safety when loading or unloading with ramps. 2000 lb. winch minimum.
TRANSPORTING
Secure machine down with ratchet straps when transporting the machine. Chock wheels to keep
machine from rolling, hydraulic levers should not be locked in the forward or backward position.
Hydraulic levers should be straight up in the "neutral" position. This helps to lock drive wheels. Lift
machine off swivel caster by lowering cutting head for better stabilization. Proper securing straps need to
be rated at least twice the weight of the machine.
WHEEL CHOCKS
Wheel chocks will help to secure the machine but DO NOT use wheel chocks alone to secure the
machine.
