Start RTCH engine.
WARNING
Always use a ground guide and do not exceed 1 mph (1.6 kph) when driving RTCH up ramps in preparation
for air transport. Failure to use a ground guide may result in an accident, causing death or injury to personnel
or damage to equipment.
NOTE
Ensure RTCH is properly alined with aircraft. Once dolly wheels are installed on tophandler, RTCH is diffi-
cult to steer.
b.
Position RTCH in line with and facing aircraft loading ramp, as close as possible to aircraft.
c.
Move cab to transport position (refer to Placing Cab in Transport Position).
d.
Raise boom to 19° and extend boom to 110 in (2794 mm) as shown on ECS display screen.
CAUTION
To ensure tophandler does not contact underside of boom, exercise tilt function and lock tophandler in tilted
position while rotating tophandler. Failure to do so may damage tophandler and/or boom.
e.
Rotate tophandler 90° counterclockwise to longitudinal position. Ensure tophandler is centered with RTCH.
f.
Fold boom support (refer to Placing Boom Support in Transport Position).
g.
Lower tophandler until approximately 18 in (45.7 cm) off the ground.
WARNING
Ensure that tabs on ramp are engaged into ramp seat holes in dolly wheels storage compartment. Failure to
secure ramp properly may cause ramp to fall under weight of dolly wheel, causing injury to personnel.
