Transportation
When transporting the machine, observe all related laws and regulations, and be careful to assure
safety.
Transportation Procedure
Select the method of transportation to match the weight and dimensions given in “Specifications”.
Note that the weight and dimensions given in “Specifications” may differ according to the type of
shoe or arm, or other attachments.
Loading and Unloading with Trailer
Select firm, level ground when loading or unloading the machine. Maintain a safe distance
from the edge of the road.
Always turn the auto-deceleration switch OFF (cancel). If the auto-deceleration switch is left
ON, the machine may suddenly start moving.
Always set the travel speed switch to low speed (Lo), run the engine at low idling, and operate
the machine slowly when loading or unloading.
In cold areas, carry out the warming-up operation thoroughly and make sure that the engine
speed is stable before carrying out the loading or unloading operation.
Use ramps with ample width, length, thickness, and strength and install them at a maximum
slope of 15°.
When using piled soil, compact the piled soil fully and prevent the slope face from collapsing.
Remove all mud and dirt from the machine tracks before starting in order to prevent the
machine from slipping on the ramps.
Be sure that the ramp surface is clean and free of water, snow, grease, oil, or ice.
Never correct your steering on the ramps. There is a hazard that the machine may turn over.
If necessary, drive off the ramps, correct the direction, then enter the ramps again.
It is dangerous to use the work equipment for loading and unloading operations.
It is dangerous to use the work equipment for loading and unloading operations.
The center of gravity of the machine will change suddenly at the joint between the ramps and
the track or trailer, and there is a hazard of the machine losing its balance. Travel slowly over
this point.
When swinging the upper structure on the trailer, the trailer is unstable, pull in the work
equipment and swing slowly.
Position a flagman to give guidance to prevent the machine from coming off the ramps and to
ensure safety in the operation.
