Driving/Transporting on Public Roads

When traveling on public roads, use accessory lights and other cautionary devices to bring your approach to the attention of other vehicle operators. Ensure that the vehicle meets all regulatory requirements. Replace any damaged or missing equipment immediately.

If the machine must be transported, make sure it is adequately secured to the transporting vehicle. Even though the brakes may be fully engaged, the tracks must be blocked and the machine secured with chains, wire, or rope to prevent movement during transport.

Position and secure the felling head or attachment, so that the equipment will not move and cause imbalance during transport.

Ensure that the overall height does not exceed local or state maximum height regulation.

Avoid injury from loading machine on a trailer, fastening machine to trailer and unloading machine from trailer.

Always use caution when loading and unloading machines on a trailer.

Always know and follow the recommended procedures for the machine, because all machines are not loaded, fastened, and unloaded the same way.

Always keep bystanders clear of the area.

To avoid injury:

• Keep the trailer bed clean.
• Park the trailer on a firm, hard, level surface that will not give way when the weight of the machine is on the trailer.
• Put chock blocks against truck wheels.
• Use a ramp or loading dock. Ramps must be strong enough to adequately handle the load and have a low angle and correct height.
• If machine is equipped with a seat belt, fasten it before starting the engine.
• Drive machine on or off the ramp slowly.
• Fasten chains or cables to machine tracks or track chain links. Do not place chains or cable over or against hydraulic lines or hoses.
