2.1.3 Driving Onto or Off a Platform Trailer
Warning
When loading or unloading, do not go at idle
speed mode to prevent sudden change in speed.
Set travel speed at low position. Do not attempt
any travel speed switching operation to avoid that
sharp change of speed and over-speed cause danger.
Always keep the machine travel at low speed.
Be sure engine runs at low speed, adjust throttle
lever to keep the engine run at low speed.
When loading or unloading, do not attempt any
steering operation. At which moment, steering
operation is extremely dangerous. The machine is
subject to rolling over. If the machine needs to
change direction, go back to level ground or trailer
platform, then revise travel direction and cross the
slope.
Do not attempt any other operations (e.g.
steering and moving work equipment etc) on slope.
Allow only travel operation.
Because it’s a raised shape at the place where
ramp intersects the flats. Pay attention to pass it: the
slope should not exceed 15°.
Prevent the machine from tipping over and other
damages due to upper-structure slewing. Lower the
boom, fold arm and bucket and slew the
upper-structure slowly to get the optimum stability.
Clean up the track, slope of the trailer and
loading surface to prevent hazards resulting from
obstacle and oil
2.1.4 Loading
Note
Load the machine only on firm, level ground and
keep a safe distance with the road shoulder.
Chock the machine to prevent the machine
movement during loading process.
The ramp for loading must have enough strength
and width with an maximum slope of 15°, be
sure both side of the ramp is at equal level so that
machine could travel safely.
