Loading/uploading through ramp
Picture 13: loading/uploading through ramp by wired remote control.
Check that no one is in proximity and that the MEWP is in
transport configuration.
To ensure a better stability during loading/uploading operations, it is
possible to disassembly the basket and to extract the tracks (*op-
tional), widening the ground encumbrance.
0. Unhook the basket by removing the pin and pulling it upwards, de-
coupling it from the support mounted on the jib. Reposition the pin
in the bush and reinsert the cotter pin.
1. Connect the travel control station (Picture 5).
2. Place a couple of ramps and bring them in correspondence of the
machine tracks.
In case of climb on a truck, use loading ramps of adequate size
and strength.
Check that the ramps slope (attack) does not exceed 16° (29%)
with jib closed and 30° (58%) with jib lifted and on engine side.
Verify that ramps are perfectly clean from grease, mud, snow or
ice.
3. Start the petrol/diesel or electric engine.
4. Control the travel operations slowly and only in the direction indi-
cated in the following figure: the basket, if not disassembled, shall
always be placed at the rear of the machine.
Picture 14: right travel direction.
5. Turn off the machine engine.
6. Ensure the MEWP to the truck plane.
WARNING! If you get the machine on a truck, secure the ma-
chine to the truck plane by couplings on the chassis and on the
outriggers. Keep the machine switched off during the transport.
