Preparation Checklist
Refer to the Owner/Operator manual as
required.
1. Unpack Unit – Remove shrink wrap and
packaging materials.
2. Remove Unit From Container – Open
Bypass Valves (dump valves) (See
Moving the Unit with the Engine Off on
page 18). Push unit from container onto
a level surface. Close the bypass valves.
3. Tires – See Specifications on page 34.
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive
separation of tire and rim parts is
possible when they are serviced
incorrectly:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire
without the proper equipment and
experience to perform the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above the
recommended pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel and
tire assembly. Heat can cause an
increase in air pressure resulting
in an explosion. Welding can
structurally weaken or deform the
wheel.
• Do not stand in front or over the
tire assembly when inflating. Use
a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow you to
stand to one side.

page 20.
5. Position Steering Levers – Remove
eccentric spacers and rotate steering
levers to the operating position. Reinstall
