1) Firmly brake the truck and apply wheel stoppers to the
tires. Securely install the ramp plates on the bed of the
truck in a position where the center of the truck aligns
with the center of the machine. Make sure that the left
and right ramp plates are at the same level.
The ramp plates should be set at an angle of less than
15 degrees.
Determine the span between the ramp plates on the ba-
sis of the centers of the track shoes.
Do not operate the high-speed pedal.
2) Return the accelerator lever to reduce engine speed.

or unload the machine with the implement lowered as
close as possible to the deck of the truck.
Do not operate any levers other than the travel levers
while driving on the ramp plates.
