3.5 TRANSPORTING, LIFTING AND TIE-DOWN

PROCEDURES

If loading machine up a ramp onto a trailer with the aid of a

winch, connect the winch cable to the castor/gate end of the

chassis using the tie-down holes provided. First run a strap

through the holes, and then connect the winch cable to the

strap. (See Figure 3-5.)

Ensure the castor(s) are rolling freely, and that the platform is

fully lowered in the transport position. Before disconnecting the

machine from the winch cable, engage each castor brake.

Vehicle Transport

position. Never lay flat.

Ensure the transport vehicle is parked on a level surface.

The machine can be loaded via a forklift, tail-lift, or winch. Never

push the machine up a slope greater than 5° without the aid of a

winch or forklift.

EcoLift 70 - Ensure the castor wheel locks are engaged and that

the forklift tines are fully engaged through the forklift pockets

on the base frame.

Use at least two straps, with one strap over the chassis, around

the mast section and out to the rear of the machine. The other

strap should be fed through the front of the chassis and the

straps taken forward, so that the machine is tied down in four

diagonal directions. (See Figure 3-5.)

NEVER PLACE A STRAP THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR HANDRAILS THIS

COULD RESULT IN MACHINE DAMAGE. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN

TIGHTENING STRAPS.
