3. TRANSPORT PRECAUTIONS
CAUTIONS WHEN LOADING OR UNLOADING
• Be especially careful when loading or unloading the Machine
because the risks intervene.
• Select a location that is level and has firm road surface when
loading or unloading the Machine. In addition, keep enough
distance from the roadside.
• Use the ramps under 15 degrees or smaller angle. In addition,
decide the clearance between ramps to meet the center of the
rubber tracks.
• Always set the Machine in the "traveling posture" and securely
insert the position pins (4 pieces) to the outrigger rotary parts before
loading or unloading the Machine.
See “Operation 2.5 Machine Travel Posture” for details.
• Always move backward when loading the Machine. Moving forward
may cause a trip.
• When loading or unloading, set the engine rotation to low idling (low
speed rotation) and operate slowly by low speed travels.
• 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 the ramps such as grease, oil or ice, and keep clean.
Be especially careful in the rainy days where slips easily occur.
• Do not change direction over a ramp. Temporarily leave the ramp
before correcting the direction.
• Be slow when operating to change the direction on the truck
platform where the footing is unstable.
• After loading the Machine, apply the wood blocks so that the
Machine does not move, and securely fix with wire ropes or other
means.
See “Operation 5.1 Loading/unloading” for details.
See “Operation 5.3 Cautions in Loading Machine” for details.
