6. Press bottom of raise/lower switch (A) and lower boom into boom rests.

IMPORTANT: Do not level cylinders when boom is folded in unless transporting machine on semi trailer and transport width needs to be under 3.7 m (12 ft) or machine damage will occur.

Machine may be damaged if transported with booms not completely lowered onto boom rests. Booms must be folded and lowered onto boom rests before transporting.

NOTE: Leveling cylinders need to be retracted only when transport width needs to be under 3.7 m (12 ft).
