TRANSPORTATION
When transporting the machine, observe all related laws and regulations, and be careful to assure safety.
TRANSPORTATION PROCEDURE
As a basic rule, transport the machine by trailer.
Select the trailer to match the weight and dimensions given in "SPECIFICATIONS (PAGE 5-2)".
Note that the value for the weight and transportation dimensions given in SPECIFICATIONS may differ according
to the type of shoe or type of arm or other attachments.
LOADING AND UNLOADING WITH TRAILER
WARNING
When loading a machine to a trailer or unloading from it, be sure to
travel the machine at low speed. Never attempt to change the speed or
depress the accelerator.
Run the engine at low idling, set to low speed, and operate the machine
slowly when loading or unloading.
Select firm, level ground when loading or unloading the machine.
Maintain a safe distance from the edge of the road.
Use ramps with ample width, length, thickness, and strength and install
them at a maximum slope of 15
°
.
When using piled soil, compact the piled soil fully and take action to
prevent the slope face from collapsing.
Remove all mud and dirt from the machine tracks before starting in
order to prevent the machine from slipping on the ramps.
Be sure that the ramp surface is clean and free of water, snow, ice,
grease, or oil.
Never correct your steering on the ramps. There is danger that the
machine may turn over.
If necessary, drive off the ramps, correct the direction, then enter the
ramps again.
Do not use the work equipment for loading and unloading operations. It
is dangerous.
When on the ramps, do not operate any lever except the travel lever.
The center of gravity of the machine will change suddenly at the joint
between the ramps and the track or trailer, and there is danger of the
machine losing its balance. Travel slowly over this point.
When swinging the upper structure on the trailer, the trailer is unstable,
so pull in the work equipment and swing slowly.
If the sliding door of the cab is closed or open, always check that it is
locked in position. The operating effort when opening or closing the
door suddenly changes when the machine is on a ramp or platform, so
never open or close the door in such conditions.
When loading or unloading, always use ramps or a platform. Proceed as follows.
