13. TRANSPORTATION
When transporting the machine, observe all related laws and
regulations, and be careful to assure safety.
13.1 LOADING, UNLOADING WORK
I A WARNING
Make sure the ramp has sufficient width, length and thick-
ness to enable the machine to be safely loaded and unloaded.
If the ramp sags appreciably, reinforce it with blocks, etc.
When loading and unloading the machine, park the trailer on
a flat firm roadbed. Keep a fairly long distance between the
road shoulder and the machine.
Remove the mud from the undercarriage to prevent the
machine from slipping to the side on slopes.
Be sure the ramp surface is clean and free of grease, oil, ice
and loosen materials.
Never change the direction of travel when on the ramps. If it
is necessary to change direction, drive off the ramps and
correct the direction, then drive on to the ramps again.
When loading or unloading, always use ramps or a platform and
carry out the operations as follows.
1. Properly apply the brakes on the trailer and insert blocks beneath
the tires to ensure that it does not move. Then fix the ramps in
line with the centers of the trailer and the machine. Be sure that
the two sides are at the same level as one another.
2. Determine the direction of the ramps, then slowly load or unload
the machine.
3. Load the machine correctly in the specified position on the
trailer.
