Secure the ramps to the truck bed.
¡
Keep the truck bed and loading ramps
clean of oil, clay, ice, snow, and other
materials which can become slippery.
Clean the tracks.

Block the transport vehicle so it can not
move.
¡
Use a signal person when loading and
unloading the machine, and travel slowly
in first gear (low speed).

Never change course on the ramp.
¡
Do not turn on the ramps. The machine
may tip over.
¡
Block both tracks and secure the machine
to the truck bed with load binders.

code and traffic laws when transporting
the machine.
