Secure control levers with the safety lock lever. 4. After removing the outer element, cover with a clean cloth or tape to prevent dirt or dust from sticking to the inner ele- ment. 5.
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. 3-111
