Loading And Fastening

WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
Adequately designed ramps of sufficient strength are
needed to support the weight of the machine when
loading onto a transport vehicle. Wood ramps can
break and cause personal injury.
W-2058-0807

Be sure the transport and towing vehicles are of

adequate size and capacity for weight of machine and
attachment combination. (See machine and attachment
Operation & Maintenance Manuals for specifications.)

Loading

Dealer Copy -- Not for Resale

The rear of the trailer must be blocked or supported when
loading and unloading to prevent the front of the trailer
from raising.

• Load the heaviest end of the machine and attachment

combination first.

• Lower the attachment to the floor.

• Stop the engine.

• Engage the parking brake (if equipped).

• Exit the machine. (See the machine’s Operation &

Maintenance Manual for the correct procedure.)

Fastening

• Install chains at the front and rear tie down positions

on the machine. (See the machine’s Operation &
Maintenance Manual to properly chain the machine to
the transport vehicle.)

• Install chains on the attachment (if needed).

• Fasten each end of the chain to the transport vehicle.

NOTE: Use chain binders to prevent the attachment

and machine from moving during transport.

WARNING when making repairs, adjustments or servicing. Check for correct function
after adjustments, repairs or service. Untrained operators and failure to follow

If the brush saw is not working correctly, check the hydraulic system of the machine thoroughly before making any repairs
on the saw. Brush saw problems can be affected by a hydraulic system that is not operating to specifications or such
problems as a plugged fuel filter or hydraulic filter in the machine. Connect a flow meter to the machine to check the
hydraulic pump output, relief valve setting and tubelines to check flow and pressure. (See the machine’s Service Manual
for the correct procedure to connect the flow meter).

Use the following troubleshooting chart to locate and correct problems which most often occur with the brush saw.
