4. Do not raise the aerial platform higher than
necessary to transport it. Drive the forklift slowly
and carefully when transporting the platform.
❑
Securing for Transport
Use the following procedure to secure the aerial
platform on the transport vehicle.
1. Properly stow the aerial platform.
2. Remove all personnel, tools, materials, or
other loose objects from the platform.
3. Chock the wheels.
4. Place four inch blocks under the front ends of
the pothole protection skids to limit excessive
loading on the front drive wheel bearings.
Ratchets, winches, and come-alongs can
produce enough force to damage machine
components. Do not over tighten the straps or
chains when securing the aerial platform to
the transport vehicle.
5. Use chains or straps to securely fasten the
aerial platform to the transport vehicle using the
front and rear tie-down lugs as attachment
points. Proper tie-down and hauling is the
responsibility of the carrier.
