Transportation
BY CRANE
Stand clear of machine when lifting.
Check specifications on back page, insure
that crane and slings are of correct capacity
to lift weight of unit.
1. Insure that boom is fully lowered and retracted.
2. Attach straps to chassis lifting lugs only. Insure
that straps are adjusted properly to keep unit
level when lifting.
BY TRUCK OR TRAILER
1. Insure that boom is fully lowered and retracted.
2. Maneuver the machine onto bed of truck / trailer.
3. When winching, follow instructions for emer-
gency towing on page 6. Attach winch cable to
front tie down lugs.
Do not winch machine faster than 3 mph.
4. After winching, insure that brakes are set.
5. Secure the machine to the transport vehicle
using chains / straps of adequate load capacity
(refer to specifications, back page) attached to
chassis tie down lugs (see figure 6).
6. Place a wooden block (7.5" x 4" x 28") under
platform support braces as shown (see figure 6).
7. Attach ratchet strap; under platform floor grating,
over support braces (see figure 6). Tighten
securely, do not overtighten.
NEVER elevate the machine while on a truck
or trailer.

EMERGENCY OPERATION
In the event of powered function failure, the elevat-
ing assembly may be lowered manually by the
following procedure.
NEVER climb down the elevating assembly.
If controls do not respond, ask someone on
the ground to lower the boom manually.
Lowering Elevating Assembly
1. Open the cover on the hydraulic module (opposite
side of the turret from the chassis control panel).
2. Remove the wire loop retainer from the hand
pump lever, and extend the handle upward to
gain leverage.
3. Operate the manual override (knurled knob) on the
appropriate valve (see fig. 4). Push in to lower /
extend, pull out to raise / retract as required.
4. While holding the appropriate valve in position,
pump the handle in and out until that section of
the elevating assembly is lowered / retracted.
5. Repeat as necessary operating each valve until
the elevating assembly is fully lowered.
Rotating Turret
1. To manually rotate the turret, remove the manual
turret crank from inside of the control side turret
cover.
2. Set ratchet direction on turret crank.
3. Place the socket of the crank onto the hex shaft
stub of the turret rotation gearbox.
4. Turn the crank clockwise to rotate the turret
counterclockwise, turn counterclockwise to rotate
the turret clockwise.
Figure 4: Emergency Control Operation
EMERGENCY TOWING
Perform the following only when the machine will not
operate under its own power and it is necessary to
move the machine or when winching onto a trailer
for transportation.
The batteries must be connected in order to release
the brakes.
1. Insure that the platform is fully lowered, and that
the turret is rotated so that the platform is to the
rear of the machine.
2. Attach chain / cable of sufficient strength for
towing the machine to front or rear tie down lugs.
3. Turn the keyswitch to the parking brake release
position. Alarm will sound.
4. Operate the brake release hand pump located
on the back of the right rear bulkhead.
5. After moving the machine, return the keyswitch
to the off position and remove the key to prevent
unauthorized operation.
DO NOT move the machine faster than 3
mph. Faster speeds will damage drive
components and void warranty.
AFTER USE EACH DAY
1. Ensure that the platform is fully lowered.
2. Park the machine on level ground, preferably
under cover, secure against vandals, children or
unauthorized operation.
3. Turn the key switch to OFF and remove all keys
to prevent unauthorized operation.
