• All loose items have been removed.
Before winching the machine:
• Attach the machine to a winch.

• Chock the wheels and engage the brakes.
Lifting The Machine With A Forklift

• Drive forward to the full extent of the forks.
• Raise the machine 6 in / 15 cm and then tilt the forks back slightly to keep the machine
secure.
• Be sure the machine is level when lowering the forks.
