the machine onto the transport machine. Removing
ice, snow, or other slippery material will help to prevent
the machine from slipping in transit.

of a load (height, weight, width, and length).
Observe all regulations that govern wide loads.
When you move the machine to a coIder climate, make
sure that the cooling system has the proper antifreeze.
