Transporting Mark V

Post by dafixer »

I'm going to pick up a fairly new (2004) Mark V 510. Its been awhile since I transported one in my truck. I have to travel about 300 miles so, I'm looking for good instructions for safely transporting it. There used to be a video available that showed how to unpack and setup a Mark V but I can't find it. Seems there is something about rolling the machine over on its back.

Be careful if you have to roll the unit over a rough uneven driveway, etc. They can break at the cast tie bar...learned that the hard way! Good luck on the move and enjoy your new SS!
