4. Unloading the Machine
DANGER
• To avoid slip-off and run-off, remove
mud or oil from tracks and ramp. In rainy
condition, do not perform a loading work
to avoid slip off the ramp.
• Failure to avoid these fall hazards could
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
• Do not travel the machine on a slope that
exceeds the machine gradeability.
Use a winch for loading/unloading, if the
ramp is too steep or slippery.
• If the transport vehicle and the loading
ramp are excessively inclined to the left or
right, the machine may fall off the ramp.
• Do not turn the steering of the machine
while it is on the ramps, because of the
possibility of a fall.
• When loading/unloading, be sure to have
another person assist you to prevent the
machine from falling off the ramps.
• Failure to avoid these fall hazards could
result in death or serious injury.
Park the transport vehicle on level firm surface.
Chock the wheels of the transport vehicle. (Fig.

3. Tie Down
Tie down the chassis of the machine to the
transport vehicle bed securely using the
approved tie down eyes (Fig. 10‒3, A).
Also, tie down the track frame securely
preventing the machine from laterally shifting
during the transportation.
