TRANSPORTATION OPERATION

UNLOADING
1. Perform loading and unloading on firm, level ground only. Maintain a safe distance from the edge of a road.
2. Properly apply the brakes on the trailer and put blocks
under the tires to ensure that the trailer 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. Make the slope of the ramps a maximum of 15ยบ.
Set the distance between the ramps to match the center
of the tracks.
3. Remove the chains or wire rope holding the machine.
4. Start the engine.
Warm the engine up fully.
5. Set the safety lock lever to the FREE position.
6. Set the brake lock lever to the FREE position.
7. Set the transmission in the 1st gear and run the engine at
low idling speed.
8. Raise the blade.
9. Set the travel direction toward the ramps and drive
slowly.
10. The center of gravity of the machine shifts suddenly at
the border between the ramps and trailer, and the
machine is unbalanced and becomes dangerous.
Accordingly, pass the boarder slowly.
11. Drive down the ramps slowly and carefully until the machine leaves the ramps perfectly.
