Once the Front Parts are completely installed on the first trailer, disconnect the base machine and the boom-foot from the rest of the front parts by removing the two Expandable Pins. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Operation Section / Transportation Information - Disassembly/Assembly Front Parts".

For the shipping of the base machine (with the boom-foot) on a second trailer, refer to the standard Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Operation Section / Transportation Information - Machine Loading onto a Trailer" for the basic transportation instructions. Follow the procedure when using the loading plates.

Disassembly / Assembly Front Parts

Ultra High Demolition Configuration (If Equipped)

This procedure will explain how to ship the machine.

As explained previously, it is not practically feasible to ship the machine with the front parts installed.

It is necessary to use two trailers for the transportation of the machine and its front parts.

The first trailer will include the base machine with boom-foot and boom cylinders installed.

The second trailer will include the boom-nose, the fore-boom and the stick. The second trailer must have a flat surface where the transportations stands are located.

The following illustrations show the location of the stand on the trailer and the way of fastening the front parts for the transportation.

It is needed to locate prior these transportation stands as accurately as possible.

A second mechanic will be useful to guide the machine movements.

NOTE: For the transportation, the tool must be removed.

Purge of Hydraulic Lines Circuit

After the assembly of the Front Parts and reconnection of the hydraulic lines, it is necessary to purge all the hydraulic lines.

Special attention should be drawn on:

- The Load Sensing Line from the Fore-Boom Valve.
- The 2 Pilot Lines from the Fore-Boom Valve.
- The Pilot Line from the Stick Lowering Control Device.

In order to facilitate and improve the purge, nipples have been installed on some hydraulic lines.
