Transporting the Machine

For highway travel a Rayco trailer is available. There are legal
road requirements for towing equipment and trailers (such as
lighting and licensing). It is the owner/operator's responsibility
to be aware of these laws and adhere to them.

Checklist for Transporting Machine

1. Install the transport lock bar.
2. Check all pins to make sure they are secure.
3. Check attachment to the towing vehicle for security.
4. Check that the ball on the towing vehicle is the same size
as the coupler (2 inches). The coupler may be adjusted
by loosening or tightening the nut on the underside.
5. Install the safety chains.
6. Check tire pressure, tire condition and that the lug bolts
are tight before each towing.
