5.1 Preparing the Machine for Transportation
WARNING
Personal injury hazard
Improper loading can result in serious injury or death.
► Keep others away from the loading area.
► Drive the machine off the transport vehicle with the help of a guide.
Preparing transport vehicles for loading and unloading
1. Ensure the transport vehicle (trailer, truck) is capable of supporting the
machine’s weight. For the machine’s operating weight, see Technical
Data on page 109.
2. Secure the transport vehicle with chocks to prevent it from rolling.
3. If the trailer requires ramps, position the ramps at the smallest possible
angle.
4. Use access ramps with an antiskid surface only.
5. Ensure the loading area is clear and that access to it is not obstructed.
5.2 Loading and Unloading the Machine
NOTICE
Machine damage can occur if the machine is not loaded properly.
► Drive the machine onto the trailer with the heaviest end of the machine
going up the ramp first.
NOTICE
Ensure the transport vehicle driver knows the overall height, width, and
weight of the transport vehicle (including the machine to be transported) be-
fore starting machine travel, and the legal transport regulations of the coun-
tries where transport is taking place.
Loading the machine
1. Raise the lift arm so that the attachment (if equipped) does not contact
the ramp or the ground.
2. Carefully back the machine onto the middle of the transport vehicle.
3. Lower the lift arm.
