TRANSPORTING
Transporting Wheel Loader (Urgent Situation)
The following procedures shall only be applied to cases
when urgently moving the wheel loader a short distance is
required. When required to transport the wheel loader long
distance, use a trailer.
Precautions for Driving On Roads
Avoid driving the wheel loader long distances at high-
speed as much as possible as it may overheat the tires,
possibly resulting in premature tire damage and/or wear.
Keep the following points in mind when transporting
the wheel loader by driving on roads.

Observe the rules and regulations associated to this
wheel loader, and travel carefully.

Recommended tire pressures and traveling speeds
may vary depending on the type of tires used and
the road conditions. Consult your nearest authorized
dealer.

Check the tire pressure before self-traveling when the
tires are cool.

After driving the wheel loader for 30 minutes,
allow the wheel loader to park for 30 minutes and
meanwhile, check the tires and every part of the
machine for any abnormality, and also check the oil
and coolant levels.

Keep the bucket empty when traveling.

Do not drive the machine with the tires containing
calcium chloride or dry ballast, which accelerate
heating.
