WARNING:
•
Always travel the machine slowly.
•
Steering on a ramp may create a danger of
tipping over. Never attempt to change travel
direction on a ramp, possibly causing the
machine to become unstable. If steering is
unavoidable, first move back to the ground,
modify traveling direction, and begin to drive
again.
•
The top end of the ramp where it meets the
flatbed, there is a sudden bump. Slowly drive
over it.
•
Use extra care when rotating the
upperstructure on the flatbed to prevent
possible injury from machine tipping. Slowly
rotate the upperstructure with the arm fully
rolled in under the boom to maintain the good
machine stability.
1. Load the machine on the trailer so that the centerline
of the machine aligns with the centerline of the
flatbed.
2. Drive the machine onto the ramp slowly.
3. Position the bucket above the flatbed. Operate the
front attachment so that the angle between the boom
and the arm is maintained at 90 to 110
°
.
4. The machine tips forward when the machine travels
over the top end of the ramp. Lower the bucket onto
the flatbed before the machine begins to tip forward.
5. After the machine reaches the specified position,
slightly lift the bucket up off the flatbed. Slowly rotate
the upperstructure 180
°
while keeping the arm fully
rolled in.
6. Lower the bucket on wooden blocks seated on the
flatbed.
7. Stop the engine. Remove the key from the switch.
8. Move the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK
position.
9. Cover the openings on the machine to prevent wind
and/or rain from coming in.
NOTE: During cold weather season, be sure to
sufficiently warm up the machine before loading
or unloading the machine.
