14. Transportation
2-70
After loading the machine in a safe position on the truck,
secure the machine as follows:
1) Place the blade down on the bed of the truck.
2) Extend the bucket and arm cylinders to the maximum
limit, and slowly lower the boom down on a block of
wood.
3) Stop the engine to take the starter switch key out of the
starter switch.
(The automatic brake locks the swing motor.)
4) Be sure to place the lock levers to the lock position.
5) Provide wooded blocks in the front and back of the track
and hook the shackles to the machine's hook holes, and
secure the machine with a chain or a wire rope so that
the machine will not move during shipping. In particular,
be sure to secure it to prevent skidding.
IMPORTANT
To protect the bucket cylinder from being damaged
during shipping, place a wooden block under one end
of the bucket cylinder to prevent it from directly touch-
ing the deck of the truck.
Do not use the hook for the purpose other than stabi-
lizing the machine during shipping. In particular, do
not use the hook in the truck frame section for lifting
the machine.
14-2. Precautions for loading the machine
Load or unload the machine on level, solid ground
far away from the shoulder of the road.
