SAFETY TRANSPORT
The danger of tipping is present when loading/unload-
ing the machine onto/from a truck or trailer bed.
• Be sure to observe local regulations when transport-
ing the machine on public roads.
• Provide an appropriate truck or trailer for transporting
the machine.
Take the following precautions when loading/unloading
the machine:
• Select firm level ground.
• Be sure to use a loading dock or ramp.
• Be sure to have a signal person when loading/
unloading the machine.
• Always turn the auto-idle switch off when loading or
unloading the machine, to avoid unexpected speed
increase due to unintentional operation of a control
lever.
• Always select the slow speed mode with the travel
speed selector.
In the high speed mode, travel speed may automatically
increase.
• Avoid steering while driving up or down the ramps as
it is extremely dangerous.
• If steering is unavoidable, first move back to the
ground or flatbed, modify travelling direction, and
begin to drive again.
• Operate the safety lever but do not operate any other
control except travel control when driving up or down
the ramp.
• The top end of the ramp where it meets the trailer
flatbed is a sudden bump. Take care when traveling
over it.
• Prevent possible injuries caused by the from machine
tipping over, while the superstructure is slewing.
• Keep the arm tucked under and rotate the superstruc-
ture slowly for better machine stability.
• Securely fasten machine frame using chains or
cables.
