ROD 0964504 - Caterpillar

Be alert while loading the machine.You must react instantly to depress one of the machine/engine remote stop switches to avoid a runaway machine.Personal injury or death could result from a runaway machine.Brace yourself for a quick stop anytime one of the machine/engine remote stop switches is depressed with the machine moving.Personal injury or death could result from a sudden stop of the machine.
Investigate the travel route for overpass clearances. Make sure that there is adequate clearance for the machine that is being transported.Remove ice, snow, or other slippery material from the loading dock and from the truck bed before you load the machine onto the transport machine. Removing ice, snow, or other slippery material will help to prevent the machine from slipping in transit.Note: Obey all laws that govern the characteristics of a load (height, weight, width, and length). Observe all regulations that govern wide loads.When you move the machine to a colder climate, make sure that the cooling system has the proper antifreeze.

Place blocks under the trailer wheels or under the rail car wheels before loading. This is shown in figure 1.
Engage the parking brake control.
Drain the water tank.
Start the engine. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Starting" for more information on starting the engine. Allow the engine to run for at least five minutes in order to warm the hydraulic system.Note: Have the engine at maximum engine speed in order to have maximum response of the hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic components.
To clear all obstacles, use switches (1), (2) and (3) to raise the machine to maximum height, and then lower the rear of the machine at least 150 mm (5.9 inch). This ensures that the rear legs can float while you load the machine.
Release the parking brake control.
Select the desired direction of travel with the propel lever. Use the propel lever to carefully move the machine onto the trailer. Keep the mainframe as low as possible while you monitor the rotor. Do not allow the rotor to contact the trailer while you move the machine.
Move the propel lever to NEUTRAL, after the machine is positioned.
Engage the parking brake control.Note: Place a plank under the rotor. The plank prevents damage to the rotor bits.
Lower the machine evenly until the rotor is resting on the planks. The machine needs to be sitting as low as possible. The cutter bits should not be contacting the trailer bed directly. Direct contact with the trailer bed could damage the cutter bits.

Install the shipping supports on the second stage conveyor. Install blocking under the feet of the shipping supports.Note: Keep the machine level.
Lower the conveyor onto the supports. Tie the conveyor downward.
Permit the engine to run for a few
