Preparation for Transport
1. After securing the load, following the steps as
outlined in "Securing the Load" on page 3-22,
move the trailer back to transport position. This may
include any of the following dependent upon how the
trailer was loaded:
• Lifting the outrigger legs to transport position.
• Shifting the outriggers back to a centered home
position
2. Once the wheels are on the ground and the axles are
in transport position, the load is ready for transport.
Before lowering the semitrailer to transport
position, insure that undercarriage brakes are
released. Failure to release brakes before
lowering will push trailer forward when tires
contact the ground.
3. See "Towing the Semitrailer" on page 3-6 for
further transport instructions.

drive or remove a stationary load by means of a
forklift, crane, or other means satisfactory to the

out, as needed, until the engine runs smoothly at
a speed capable of withstanding use of the
hydraulic controls. The hydraulic controls should
now be functional.

down by running at a slow idle for a few minutes.
Then turn the ignition switch to the off position.
f.
Once the engine is cool, turn or push the throttle
control completely in and turn the key to the OFF
