CONFIGURE MACHINE FOR RAIL TRANSPORT
NOTE
To facilitate machine disassembly and sectionalization, it is crucial that machine be positioned on level
ground, with tractor and water distributor aligned and steering centered.
If possible, position machine in direction of helicopter's takeoff, so that pilot does not have to pick up
load, then turn aircraft into takeoff direction.
When hydraulic hose guide disconnects need to be disconnected, operate control levers through all posi-
tions (WP 0004 00) to relieve any trapped hydraulic pressure in hoses. This will facilitate disconnection
of hoses.
