STORE ATTACHMENTS SAFELY

away from storage areas.
TRANSPORT SAFELY

Take care the machine may turn over when loading
or unloading the machine onto or off of a truck or
trailer.
•
Observe the related regulations and rules for safe
transportation.
•
Select an appropriate truck or trailer for the ma-
chine to be transported.
•
Be sure to use a signal person.

ing or unloading:
1. Select solid and level ground.
2. Always use a ramp or deck strong enough to
support the machine weight.
