CAUTION: KNOW THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT AND REACH OF YOUR MACHINE.

Serious injury or death by electrocution may occur if the machine or its attachments are not kept at a safe distance from electrical power lines. Keep distance of at least 3.05 m (10 ft.) plus an additional 100 mm (3.9 In.) for each 1,000 volts over 50,000 volts. Local and state regulations or job site opening devices may require greater distance for safety reasons.

CAUTION: Be aware of local laws regarding height regulations. Remember to add height of trailer to height of harvester. See maximum heights.

1. Keep trailer bed clean.
2. Use a strong, low angle ramp or loading dock when loading harvester onto trailer.
3. Be sure to load and unload harvester on a level, firm surface.
4. Use as many signal persons on the ground as needed when loading and unloading. Coordinate hand signals before starting the harvester.
5. Drive harvester onto the trailer at a slow speed.
6. The centerline of the harvester should be over the centerline of the trailer.
7. When the harvester is in place on the trailer, turn parking brake switch ON to engage the parking brake.
8. Lower the topper and elevator. Level the harvester.
9. Apply safety stops to basecutter cylinders to prevent harvester from lowering.
10. Turn OFF engine and remove the master disconnect key.
11. Fasten chains or cables to the tow loops and bind holes as seen in figures. Do Not put chains or cables over or against hydraulic lines or hoses.

NOTE: Be sure to cover the exhaust when transporting the harvester in reverse. This will protect the turbocharger from being damaged.
