Transport Machine

A - Light Switch

B - Transport Position


CAUTION: DO NOT exceed maximum transport speed of 50 km/h (30 mph) or you may lose control of machine, causing serious injury or death to you or others.

  1. Be sure SMV emblem is installed on boom (or rear of machine).

  2. Start engine.

  3. Turn light switch (A) to transport position (B) (as necessary). Check that amber warning lights are flashing and that all lights are clean and visible.

  4. IMPORTANT: Machine may be damaged if transported with booms not completely lowered onto boom supports.

    Hold Boom Lower switch for 5 seconds to ensure boom contacts and is supported by front boom support. Boom Return to Height will remain active after boom is folded. When lowering boom onto supports, boom may stop at set point if it is above support rest height. Boom can be lowered beyond set point by pressing Boom Lower switch again.

    CAUTION: Boom Return to Height will remain active after boom is folded. Stand clear of booms when BoomTrac is activated. Booms will move when objects are moved within sensor range.

    Fold booms. (See Fold Boom in Booms section.)

  5. If nozzles are dripping, relieve boom pressure. (See Relieve Boom Pressure in this section.)

  6. Push throttle switch forward to achieve maximum engine speed.

  7. Select appropriate target speed range (50 km/h (30 mph) maximum). When machine is started, Low Range is automatically selected by the Chassis Control Unit.

    IMPORTANT: Never exceed maximum tire load during road transport.

    Road transport with tank loads above the maximum axle load limitations may result in premature tire wear and failure. Exceeding these limitations may void manufacturers warranty. Verify machines axle weights before transporting loaded machine.

    4630 Maximum Transport Load

    Tire Size

    Maximum Axle Load

    320/80R42

    5150 kg (11354 lb)

    380/80R38

    5300 kg (11684 lb)

    420/85R34

    5800 kg (12786 lb)

  8. IMPORTANT: When transporting machine downhill at transport speeds, machine will try to hold the target speed until engine begins to overspeed. At this time the vehicle speed could increase beyond target speed. Before starting down a hill, select a speed range (30 mph maximum) that is appropriate for the load on the machine and the steepness and length of the slope.

    Push multifunction control handle slowly forward to start forward travel. Continue pushing handle forward to increase ground speed. When engine reaches maximum RPM, push top of target speed switch to advance to higher speed range, if desired.

  9. To reverse direction of travel, move multifunction control handle to neutral and press brake pedal as required to bring machine to a complete stop, then move handle to the right and rear to back up machine. Reverse speed available is proportional to the target speed selected.
