POSITION use the controls on the ground-
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. The rear axles should be completely retracted
and the jack should be completely up.
To lock the TB126J:
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
access door.
3. Set the BATTERY switch to OFF and lock the

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.
Y YTrailering
D A N G ER
A TB126J weighs approximately 41,000
pounds (19,000 kg). Loading ramps must be
able to support that weight. Transport trailers
must be able to safely transport that weight.
Do not load a TB126J on grades over 25%; on
ramps with poor traction, uneven surfaces, or
steps; or if the machine must be loaded
backwards.
Here is the recommended transport position for a
TB126J 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
TB126J on a folding tail (beaver tail) trailer. Drive
the machine forward onto the trailer as far as
possible.
