8. Operating Precautions
1-13
WARNING Neglecting these instructions may cause extreme hazards.
• Be careful in loading and unloading the machine, because it is a job of high hazard potential.
• Load or unload the machine at a low engine speed, and low travel speed.
• Load or unload the machine on the level, solid ground away from the shoulder of the road.
• Use ramp plates of adequate strength with hooks on their
ends.
Check to see that the ramp plates are wide, long, and thick
enough to sustain the load so that you can load or unload the
machine safely. Support the ramp plates with blocks, to pro-
vide additional strength.
• Securely hook the ramp plates to the deck of the truck so that
they will not come off.
• Remove grease, oil, and other slippery deposits from the ramp plates, and remove mud from the
tracks to prevent the machine from skidding on the ramp plates.
• Do not load or unload the machine if the ramp plates are slippery because of rain, snow or ice.
• Never change travel direction while on the ramp plates. If you need to change travel direction, go
down the ramp plates, and change direction on the ground.
• After loading the machine, block it with lumber and secure the machine with a chain or a wire rope
so that the machine will not move during transit.
For instructions on loading and unloading the machine, refer to Section "14. Transporta-
tion".
For instructions on securing the machine, refer to Section "14. Transportation".
• Transport the machine safely in accordance with local regulations and applicable law.
• Select a travel route consistent with the width, height and weight of the machine loaded on the
truck.
