EMERGENCY STOP

The unit is equipped with one emergency stop switch. For location of the emergency
stop switch, refer to
"Component
GENCY STOP." The switch can be accessed and activated with all doors closed and
locked.
Activate the emergency stop switch by pushing the button in until it locks down. This
will open the fuel circuit, shutting down the engine. The switch will remain locked until
it is pulled out.
The use of the emergency stop switch in non-emergency situations will lead to equipment
damage. For any other shut down, refer to

TOWING THE UNIT

Once the engine is shut down, follow these steps to prepare the unit for towing.
1. Use the tongue jack to raise or lower the trailer onto the hitch of the towing vehicle. Lock the hitch coupling
and attach the safety chains or cables to the vehicle. Release the jack locking pin and rotate the jack into the
travel position. Make sure the locking pin snaps into place.
Note: A film of grease on the coupler will extend coupler life and eliminate squeaking. Wipe the coupler clean and
apply fresh grease each time the unit is towed.
2. To ensure proper operation of the jacks, lube the grease fittings located on the leveling jacks. Refer to
