Here is the recommended transport position for a
TB100J, with a self-stowing platform, on a
conventional step-deck trailer. Drive the machine
forward onto the trailer, then rotate the turntable
180

°.

Here is the recommended transport position for a
TB100J, with a self-stowing platform, on a folding
tail (beaver tail) trailer. Drive the machine forward
onto the trailer as far as possible.

The following procedure shows how to transport
a TB100J. This procedure assumes that you
have loaded the TB100J as described in the
“STOWING & TRANSPORTING” chapter, that
the TB100J engine is still running, and that the
wheels are chocked.

1. Use the platform-control box (1) to rotate the
platform (2) completely to the side as shown.

2. Release both over-center hook latches (3) (4).

D A N G E R

Death or serious injury can result from being
crushed between the platform and the rotator
frame. Do not reach through any part of the
platform when the over-center hooks are
undone. Do not operate the slide controls
from inside the platform.

3. Push in and hold the SLIDE INTERLOCK
button (6) at the same time that you push and
hold the SLIDE ACTUATOR SWITCH (5) toward
the chassis. Continue to hold both switches (5)
(6) until the platform (7 below), moves as far
back toward the chassis as it will go.

D A N G E R

Death or serious injury can result from falling
from the platform. Do not work from a TB100J
that has the platform slid to the side or that
has the over-center hook latches open. The
platform should only be slid to the side to
save space during transportation.

OFF.

remove the key, and close the ground-control
door.
