STOWING
At the end of each work day (or in preparation for
transporting, lifting, towing, or storage) a
qualified operator should put the TB100J into its
STOWED POSITION then lock it.

To bring the TB100J into the STOWED
POSITION use the controls on the ground-
control or platform-control box to:
1. Fully retract the main boom.
2. Fully lower the main boom.
3. Fully lower the jib boom.
4. Center the main boom between the rear
wheels.
5. Use the AXLES controls to completely retract
the axles and completely raise the jack.
To lock the TB100J:
1. If the engine has just been under load and is
hot, set the ENGINE THROTTLE to LO and let
the engine idle for one minute.
2. Set the MASTER KEY SWITCH to OFF,
remove the key, and close the ground-control
box door.
3. Set the BATTERY switch to OFF and lock the
BATTERY switch.
4. (OPTION - LPG) For machines equipped with
LPG, close the valve on the LPG-tank

TRANSPORTING
The user assumes all responsibility for choosing
the proper method of transportation, and the
proper selection and use of transportation and
tie-down devices, making sure the equipment
used is capable of supporting the weight of the
aerial platform and that all manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings, regulations and safety
rules of their employer, the DOT and/or any other
state or federal law are followed.

A TB100J weighs approximately 33,000
pounds (15,000 kg). Loading ramps must be
able to support that weight. Transport trailers
must be able to safely transport that weight.
Do not load a TB100J on grades over 25% or
on ramps with poor traction, uneven
surfaces, or steps.
To safely drive a TB100J onto a transport trailer:

1. Visually inspect the alignment of the loading
ramp (1) and the truck or trailer (2). They should
both be on the same straight line.
2. Chock (3) the wheels of the truck or trailer so
it cannot roll away form the loading ramp (1)
while the TB100J is being loaded.
3. Set the ground-control box for platform
operation.
