3. TRANSPORT PRECAUTIONS
CAUTIONS DURING TRANSPORT
When transporting the Machine, there is a risk of inviting a serious bodily accident incurred by
an accident during transportation.
Strictly observe the following when transporting the Machine.
• Depending on the type of crane installed, the mass, height and total length of the machine
are varied, and thus check these details.
•
When traveling on a bridge or passing over a structure, check in advance the bridge and
viaduct to ensure that they can withstand the mass of the trailer and the machine, and firm
up the transportation route.
• When traveling on a public road, notify the competent authority to receive permission for the
transportation.
• The Machine may require disassembled transportation in accordanc
regulations (such as the enforcement ordinance of the Road Traffic Act). Contact us or our
sales service agency when conducting the transportation.
CAUTIONS WHEN LOADING OR UNLOADING
Pay particular attention to the loading or unloading operation
of the Machine, which may invite such an accident as
tumbling or falling of it.
When conducting a loading or unloading of the Machine,
strictly observe the following precautions:
• Select an area with horizontal and solid ground for setting
the Machine. In
addition, keep enough distance from the
roadside.
• Use the ramps under 15° or smaller angle. In addition,
decide the clearance between ramps to meet the center of
the crawler.
•
Use the ramps that have fully strong width, length and
thickness, and that enable safe loading/unloading.
Reinforce with blocks or other substances if the ramps
deflect much.
• Remove the mud and other substances from the footing to
prevent the Machine from skidding over the ramps. Remove
the substances stuck on the ramps such as grease, oil or
ice, and keep clean.
Be especially careful on the rainy days when slips may
easily occur.
• Be sure to set the switch of automatic deceleration to OFF
(cancel).Turning the automatic deceleration switch ON
rapidly levy up the engine revolution, resulting in a sudden
start of acceleration, and thus it is very dangerous.
• When loading or unloading the Machine, be sure to set the
Machine to a traveling posture and fix the hook block to the
Machine body by using wire ropes.
Refer to the descriptions under "OPERATION 3.7
MACHINE TRAVELLING POSTURE ".
• When loading or unloading, set the engine rotation to low
idling (low speed rotation) and operate slowly by low speed
travels.
• Always move backward when loading the Machine. Moving
forward may cause the machine to fall.
•
Do not operate any other lever than traveling levers
(forward/reverse traveling) on the ramp boards.
• Never change direction on the ramp. Temporarily leave the
ramp before correcting the direction.
