5. TRANSPORTATION
Observe the related laws and regulations and transport the machine safely.
5.1 LOADING/UNLOADING
• See "Specifications 1.1 Specification List " in the Dimension for the dimensions and mass of
the machine.
• Select and use the ramp boards that satisfy the following conditions.
• Has the length that when placed, the angle from the track is 15 degrees or less.
• Has the width no narrower than the rubber tracks.
• Has the thickness and strength that can fully withstand the mass of the machine.
• Be sure to place the ramp boards perpendicular to the truck box.
Also, match the center of the each of the rubber tracks with the center of corresponding ramp
board. Misguided ramp boards and unmatched rubber crawlers may cause the machine to slip
out of the ramp boards and cause serious accidents.
• Use ramp boards with slope of 15 degrees or less. The space between boards shall be set to
be appropriate to the center of the rubber tracks.
• Always put the machine in the “traveling posture” when
loading/unloading the machine. See “Operation 2.5
Machine Traveling Posture” for traveling posture.
• Always load the machine by moving backward. Moving
forward involves overturning hazard. The operator must
be on the back side of the truck.
• Always unload the machine by moving forward. Moving
backward involves overturning hazard. The operator
must be on the back side of the truck.
• Loading/Unloading the machine involves danger. Be
extremely careful.
• Select flat and solid ground for loading/unloading the machine. Keep sufficient distance from
the shoulders.
• Remove dirt around the crawlers to prevent side slip of the machine on the ramp boards.
Remove any materials on the loading ramps such as ice, grease, and oil.
• Never change direction on the ramp boards. Go down from the ramp board, and then change
the direction.
Always put the machine in the “traveling posture” when
loading/unloading the machine. Always use ramp boards or
forwarding blocks when loading/unloading the machine and use
the following procedure.
1. Brake the trailer securely. Place wheel blocks to the wheels of
the trailer to secure the trailer.
2. Secure the ramp boards in a way that the center of the trailer
and the machine agree.
NOTES
Verify that the two lamp boards are at the same height.
3. Operate the acceleration pedal and keep the engine at low speed.
4. TRAVEL slowly toward the ramp boards, and load/unload the machine in a way that the boom does not
hit the trailer. Move backward to load the machine, and forward to unload the machine.
5. Do not operate any other lever than traveling levers on the ramp boards.
6. Load the machine properly to the desired position on the trailer.
