Shipping
1. Shipping the Unit
A. Secure the unit
Using straps or chains over the axels. Use wheel chocks in front of and behind the tires to
prevent movements.
B. Lifting Arrangements
If it is desired to lift the unit with a forklift, certain precautions are necessary to prevent
damage to the unit. The forks must be positioned so that they extend far enough under the
unit to provide a stable lift. The bottom of the unit is flat across the bottom of the cable tray
and fuel tank and no blocking or spacers are required.
CAUTION:
DO NOT SHIP THE UNIT BY RAIL. DAMAGE MAY OCCUR DUE
TO HIGH AND UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION WHEN
SHIPPING BY RAIL AND THE FACTORY SUGGESTS THAT
OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORTATION BE USED.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE CHAINS OR STRAPS OVER FUEL LINES,
ELECTRICAL WIRES, OR COMPONENTS.
NOTE:
If shipping the unit by boat it is advisable to keep the unit below
decks and away from salt water spray. If this is unavoidable,
cover the unit with plastic to keep salt water spray from coming
in contact with the unit.
