Use the following procedure to fasten the Bobcat Loader to the transport vehicle to prevent the loader from moving during sudden stops or when going up or down slopes [Figure 10-40-2]. 1. Lower the bucket or attachment to the floor. S1077
2. Stop the engine.
A loader with an empty bucket or no attachment must be loaded backward onto the transport vehicle [Figure 1040-1]. The rear of the trailer must be blocked or supported [Figure 10-40-1] when loading or unloading the loader to prevent the front end of the trailer from raising up.
3. Engage the parking brake. 4. Install chains at the front and rear loader tie down positions. 5. Fasten each end of the chain to the transport vehicle.
