SAFETY TRANSPORTING
• The danger of tipping is present when loading/
unloading the machine onto/from a truck or trailer
bed.
- Be sure to observe local regulations when
transporting the machine on public roads.
- Provide an appropriate truck or trailer for
transporting the machine.
• Take the following precautions when loading/
unloading the machine:
1. Select firm level ground.
2. Be sure to use a loading dock or ramp.
3. Be sure to have a signal person when loading/
unloading the machine.
4. Always turn the auto-idle ( A/I ) switch OFF when
loading or unloading the machine, to avoid
unexpected speed increase due to unintentional
operation of a control lever.
5. Always select the slow speed mode with the
travel speed selector. In the high speed mode,
travel speed may automatically increase.

as it is extremely dangerous. If steering is
unavoidable, first move back to the ground or
flatbed, modify travelling direction, and begin to
drive again.
7. Do not operate any levers besides the travel
levers when driving up or down the ramp.
8. The top end of the ramp where it meets the
flatbed is a sudden jolt. Take care when traveling
over it.
9. Prevent possible injury from machine tipping
while the upperstructure is rotating.
10. Keep the arm tucked under and rotate the
upperstructure slowly for best stability.
11. Securely fasten machine frame using chains or
cables. Refer to “ TRANSPORT ” chapter in the
