WARNING
Risk of crushing.
Material may fall off when loading a vehicle.

vehicle while loading.
NOTE!
Make sure that loading ramps and platforms are
free from oil, mud, ice and similar so that the
machine does not begin to slip.

deactivated with the button on the keyboard in order
to avoid that the speed increases during loading
and unloading of the machine.

each track and secure the machine with tie
downs of adequate load rating so that the
