TRANSPORTATION SECURING MACHINE After placing the machine on the specified position of the trailer, secure it according to the following procedure. IMPORTANT To prevent damage to the bucket cylinder during trans- portation, fit a wooden block at one end of the bucket cylinder to prevent it from touching the floor. 1. Lower the blade. 2. Extend the bucket and arm cylinders fully, then lower the boom slowly. 3. Stop the engine, then remove the key from the starting switch. 4. Secure control levers with the safety lock lever. NOTE For machines equipped with a cab, there is only a safety lock lever on the left. 5. Lock the sliding door (cab specification) and covers with locks.
See Section "3.2.8 CAPS AND COVERS WITH LOCK". IMPORTANT Do not use the hole at the back of the track frame for towing or lifting the machine. 6. Place blocks under both ends of the tracks to prevent the machine from moving during transportation, and secure the machine with chains or wire rope of suitable strength. Be particulary careful to secure the machine in position so it does not slip to the side. When securing with a chain or wire rope, use the hole at the rear of the track frame and the hole in the blade side plate. 137
