Securing to a Transport Vehicle
This procedure assumes that the TB 60 is in its
STOWED POSITION, and that its wheels are
chocked, and that you are in control at the
platform-control box.
1. Use the BOOM controller to raise the tip-boom
(1) about one foot (0.3 meters).
2. Place a large wood block (2) under the rotator
pylon (3) and use the BOOM controller to lower
the rotator pylon (3) back onto the block (2).
3. Turn the ANTI-RESTART MASTER SWITCH
to OFF, set the MASTER switch to OFF, remove
the key, and close the ground-control panel door.
4. Set the BATTERY switch to OFF.
5. (OPTION - LPG) For machines equipped with
LPG, close the valve on the LPG tank
(completely screwed in).
6. Use a nylon strap (4) to secure the platform
(5) to the trailer as shown. (This will stop the end
of the booms and the platform from moving
during transport.)
