OPERATION
8.3 Transport Position
• For transport on public highway, the boom
must be folded within the overall width of the
tractor.Position the arm until the boom head is
approximately 4 ft. (1.5 M) clear of the ground
and the dipper is horizontal.
• Pull the dipper arm to the rear to remove
tension on the breakaway ram base pin and
remove it.
• Manually break back the dipper until the base
of the ram is relocated between the inboard
holes in the ram lugs. Replace the ram base
pin.
• Select “Reach In” and “Lift Up” until the main
arm is adjacent against the stop on the top of
the main frame. Fully extend the angle ram to
face the booms inboard.
• Remove the transport lock pin from its
stowage position beneath the main arm and
locate in position through the retaining ped.
Secure with spring cotter.
• For offroad transport where width is not
critical, it will be sufficient to fully fold the arms
and engage the lock pin.
• To revert to “work mode”, the above
procedures must be reversed. OPS-B- 0053
