Loading and tying down the machine
☞Load the machine as follows:
• Secure the transport vehicle with chocks to prevent it from rolling
• Place the access ramps on the transport vehicle at the smallest possible angle – do
not exceed an angle of 20°
• Use access ramps with an antiskid surface only
• Ensure that the loading area of the transport vehicle is clear and that access to it is
not obstructed
• Ensure that the access ramps and the wheels of the machine are free of oil, grease
and ice
• Check the oil level of the diesel engine of the machine you want to load
– see chapter 5 “Checking the engine oil level” on page 5-5
• Start the diesel engine of the machine you want to load
• Raise the loader unit enough so that it will not touch the access ramps
• Carefully drive the machine onto the middle of the transport vehicle
• Set the drive of the wheel loader to neutral
– see chapter 3 “Putting the machine into operation” on page 3-51
• Lower the loader unit (bucket) to the loading area of the transport vehicle
• Stop the diesel engine
• Firmly apply the parking brake –seeParking brake on page 3-50
• Remove the ignition key
• Do not allow anyone to stay in the cabin, and close the doors and the engine cover
☞Tie down the machine as follows:
• Firmly tie down the machine at the eye hooks (see figure) with ratchet straps or
chains of sufficient size onto the platform.
If possible, secure the wheels with additional chocks at the front, rear and at the sides
• Before transporting the machine over longer distances and in heavy rain: close the
outlet of the exhaust silencer with a simple cap or suitable adhesive tape
☞Ensure that the driver of the transport vehicle knows the overall height, width and
weight of his vehicle (including the load) before starting machine travel, and that he
observes the legal transport regulations of the country or countries in which transport
