DANGER
To avoid personal injury or death:
 No directional changes should
be made when the excavator is
on the ramp. Should a change
of direction be necessary, drive
off the ramp completely and
make the turn.
 When driving forwards or
backwards onto the truck, or
when swinging the upper body,
make sure that neither the
cabin or the gates of the truck
will be damaged.
 When the excavator reaches
the point between the ramps
and the truck bed, halt and then
move very slowly until the
excavator
reaches the
horizontal position.
 Move the excavator onto the
truck only with the arm
completely
pulled in.
Otherwise, the truck cabin
could be
damaged when
swinging around the upper
body.

Do not jack up the machine
using its boom to load or unload
the excavator from the truck.
Dangerous situation could arise.
