TRANSPORTING BY ROAD
When transporting the machine on public roads, be
sure to first understand and follow all local regulations.
•
When transporting using a trailer, check the width,
height, length and weight of the trailer with the ma-
chine loaded.
Note that transporting the weight and dimensions may
vary depending on the type of shoe or front attach-
ments installed.
•
Investigate beforehand the conditions of the route to
be traveled, such as dimensional limits, weight limits,
and traffic regulations.
In some cases, disassemble the machine to bring it within
dimensional limits or weight limits of local regulations.
LOADING/UNLOADING ON A TRAILER
Always load and unload the machine on a firm, level sur-
face.
CAUTION: Be sure to use a loading dock or a
ramp for loading/unloading.
Ramp/Loading Dock:
1. Before loading, thoroughly clean the ramp and flat-
bed. Dirty ramps or flatbeds with oil, mud, or ice on
them are slippery and dangerous.
2. Place blocks against the truck and trailer wheels
while using a ramp or loading dock.
3. Ramps must be sufficient in width, length, and
strength. Be sure that the incline of the ramp is less
than 15 degrees.
4. Loading docks must be sufficient in width and
strength to support the machine and have an incline
of less than 15 degrees.
