To prevent side movement of the drill when transported
by trailer, the lift-assist casters may be locked in their
full-reversing orientation. The lift assist ONLY locks in
reverse.
Use this feature only for trailer transport. Do not use
these locks for semi-mounted towing or field operations.

Note: On extremely narrow trailer beds, it may be
necessary to lock the casters before moving the
drill onto the trailer. Make sure drill is precisely

degrees to hold in the unlock position.
