Y Securing to a Transport Vehicle
This procedure assumes that you have just
finished the previous section, that the TB126J
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, moves as far back toward
the chassis as it will go (see photo immediately
below).

D A N G E R

Death or serious injury can result from falling
from the platform. Do not work from a TB126J
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.
