Loading and Transporting
Note: Refer to Figure 3-49.
Use only transporters that are in proper working order
and are approved for use on public roads.
When using ramps to load the transporter:
•
Do not exceed an incline of 17°.
•
Clean dirt, mud, ice and snow from the ramps and
tracks.
•
Use metal loading ramps with a slip-resistant sur-
face, and with beveled ends to prevent damage to
rubber tracks.
Loading Procedure:
1. Attach ramps securely to the transporter to prevent
them from slipping off during loading.
2. Load the transporter on solid, even ground.
3. Engage the transporter parking brake and chock the
wheels.
4. Determine the direction of the track movement
(blade facing forward) before moving the excava-
tor onto the ramps.
5. After the excavator is on the transporter, lower the
dozer blade and the bucket onto the loading surface
and turn off the excavator engine.
6. Lock the cab.
7. Place chocks under the excavator tracks.
8. Secure the excavator to the transporter at the tie-
down points (1, Figure 3-49) to prevent the excava-
tor from slipping, overturning or moving during
transport.
Note: The tie-down points on the excavator are identi-
fied by decals (1, Figure 3-49).
