Reference/Speed Control
Bar
Adjust the front reference/speed control bar for
desired maximum forward speed.
1. Shut off the engine, engage the parking brake,
and move the motion control levers to the neutral
position.
2. Loosen the bolts on both sides of the control
tower by loosening the two nuts on each side
(four total) of the console (see

Important:
Make sure the nuts and bolts are tight
so the front reference/speed control bar does not
move during operation.

Loading the Machine

Use extreme caution when loading machines on
trailers or trucks. Use a full-width ramp to extend
beyond the rear tires instead of individual ramps for
each side of the machine. With the platform up, a
full-width ramp provides a surface to walk on behind
the machine.
A steep ramp angle may cause components to get
caught as the machine moves from ramp to trailer or
truck. Steeper angles may also cause the machine to
tip backward. If loading on or near a slope, position
the trailer or truck so that it is on the down side of
the slope and the ramps extends up the slope. This
minimizes the ramp angle. The trailer or truck should
be as level as possible.
Important:
Do not attempt to turn the machine
while on the ramp, you may lose control and drive
off the side.
Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp
and sudden deceleration when backing down a
ramp. Both maneuvers can cause the machine to tip
backward.

Transporting the Machine

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all the
necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
When using a trailer, secure it with the safety chains.
1. Load the machine onto the transport vehicle.
2. Lock the tines in the up position by tapping and
holding the multi-function switch in the down
position until the LED indicator appears on the
hour meter/tine engagement display.
3. Engage the parking brake, shut off the engine,
and remove the key.
4. Close the fuel-shutoff valve.
5. Block the wheels and securely bind the machine
to the trailer or truck with straps, chains, cable,
or ropes. If possible, both front and rear straps
should be directed down and outward from the
machine.
Important:
Use only the 4 designated
tie-down locations on the machine—2 on the
left side and 2 on the right; refer to
