OAR 437-007-0765: Hauling or Moving Machines

(1) The weight of any machine being hauled must not exceed the designed capacity of the transporting vehicle. (2) Machines must be loaded, secured and unloaded so they do not create a hazard for personnel. (3) Machines must not be moved or operated until all personnel are in the clear. (4) A signal person must guide operators who do not have a clear and unobstructed view of the direction of travel and the surface being traveled. (5) When an operator does not have a clear and unobstructed view of the direction of travel, an audible alarm or horn must be sounded before the machine, equipment or vehicle is moved. (6) Track-mounted machines with manual transmissions must be equipped with a ratchet or other device which will prevent unintended disengagement or reversing of the machine, and the operator must be informed of the proper technique. (7) When moving machines equipped with metal towers, the tower must be lowered. When needed for mobility, the tower may be raised provided that it is adequately supported so that the stability of the machine is not impaired during movement.
