PREPARATION FOR TRANSPORT
0007 00
NOTE
In order to prepare the RTCH-RT 240 for transport, all procedures, except for Self Deployment, require that
the boom support be lowered. The boom support cannot be lowered unless the cab has first been placed in
transport position (to the left and fully lowered).
SELF DEPLOYMENT
NOTE
• The RTCH may be deployed with forklift kit attached only when moving between remote areas, NOT on high-
ways or streets. Forklift kit may also only be deployed with tophandler oriented in normal operational position,
NOT longitudinal position. With forklift kit attached, overall lowered height of vehicle is increased by 3 ft (0.9
m). This makes the lowered height (with clearance under forklift kit) approximately 193 in (490 cm). This
height is acceptable for movement between remote areas, but not for highway and/or street movement, due to
overhead wires and structures.
• Refer to data plate on forklift kit for rail or trailer transport instructions.
• Refer to WP 0002 00, 0004 00, and 0005 00 for the location and operation of RTCH controls, indicators, and
components.
1.
Extend boom.
2.
Rotate tophandler 90° clockwise to longitudinal position.
3.
Position boom in horizontal position. Load control display should read 0° and OALH should read 160 in.
4.
Retract boom until tophandler is in close proximity to front tires.
5.
Select two-wheel steer mode.
6.
Turn on lights and flashers, as required.
PLACING CAB IN TRANSPORT POSITION
NOTE
Refer to WP 0002 00, 0004 00, and 0005 00 for the location and operation of RTCH controls, indicators, and
components.
1.
Move Cab to Transport Position.
NOTE
If RTCH cab is being moved to transport position in order to perform maintenance, it may not be possible to
run engine. Auxiliary pump will operate without engine running.
