Vehicle Transport

The machine must always be transported in the upright position. Do
not lay the machine flat.
The machine can be loaded onto a transport vehicle via a forklift, tail-
lift, or winch. Never push the machine up a slope greater than 5° with-
out the aid of a winch or forklift. Ensure the transport vehicle is parked
on a level surface.
If using a forklift to transport the machine, engage all castor wheel
locks. Adjust the width of the forklift tines to fit the machine's forklift
pockets, then fully slide in the tines and lift machine.
If tying down the machine using straps or chains, the platform must be
fully lowered to the stowed position with the machine securely tied
down to the truck or trailer deck.
NEVER PLACE A STRAP THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR HANDRAILS, WHICH MAY
RESULT IN MACHINE DAMAGE. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN TIGHTENING
STRAPS OR CHAINS.
