Run the engine at low speed and travel slowly.
When on the ramps, do not touch any other parts.
Never correct your steering on the ramps. If necessary, drive off the ramps,correct the direction,then enter the

The center of gravity of the machine will change suddenlyat the joint between the ramps andthe track or trailer,
and there is danger of the machine losing its balance. Travel slowly over this point.
When loading or unloading to an embankment or platform, make sure that it has suitable width, strength, and
grade.
For machines equippedwith a cab, always lock the door after boarding the machine. If this is not done, the door
may suddenly open during transportation.
