STOWING
At the end of each work day (or in preparation for
transporting, lifting, towing, or storage) a
qualified operator should put the TB 60 into its
STOWED POSITION then lock it.
The correct STOWED POSITION is shown here.
To bring the TB 60 into the STOWED POSITION
use the controls on the ground-control panel to:
1. Fully retract the main boom.
2. Fully lower the main boom.
3. Center the main boom between the rear
wheels.
To lock the TB 60:
1. If the engine has just been under load and is
hot, set the ENGINE SPEED to SLOW and let
the engine idle for five minutes.
2. Set the MASTER switch to OFF, remove the
key, and close the ground-control panel door.
3. Set the BATTERY switch to OFF.
4. Close and lock the door to the battery
compartment.
5. (OPTION - LPG) For machines equipped with
LPG, close the valve on the LPG-tank
(completely screwed in).
6. Close and latch all other doors.

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.

be able to safely transport that weight.

Do not load a TB 60 on grades over 25%; or
with the turntable rotated with respect to the
chassis; or on ramps with poor traction,
uneven surfaces, or steps.
