LOADING ONTO OR UNLOADING FROM A TRUCK
(1) When loading the tractor onto a truck or a trailer,
turn off the truck`s engine and apply the parking
brakes to the truck or the trailer.
Otherwise, the truck could move and the tractor
falls to the ground.
(2) Pay sufficient attention to the safety conditions
around the tractor and have it guided by someone
to assist the operation. Never allow other persons
to approach the tractor, especially in front of or
behind it.
(3) When loading or unloading the machine on/off
a truck, set slip-proof ramps at the same angles
and drive the tractor straight at sufficiently slow
speeds. Loading the tractor in reverse travel and
unloading it in forward travel.
(4) Never depress the brake pedal during loading or
unloading operation, or the tractor may shift side-
ways, which may cause it to fall of the ramps.
(5) If the engine stalls unexpectedly on the ramps,
depress the brake pedal immediately and roll the
tractor to the ground by manipulating the brake
pedal. Start the engine on the ground and try again.
(6) When the machine is loaded on the truck, stop
the engine, apply parking brakes, and withdraw
the starter key, chock the wheels, and rope it se-
curely to the truck. During transportation, do not
make sharp turns needlessly so as not to shift the
loaded tractor.
(7) Use ramps with the same or better specifications
mentioned below. When the machine is equipped
with attachments other than those included in the
specifications mentioned below, ask your ISEKI
dealer for advice.
SPECIFICATIONS OF THE RAMPS
Length
More than 4 times the height of the platform of the truck
Width (effective width) more than 35cm
Capacity (one ramp) more than 1700kg
Ramps should have anti-skid surfaces
(8) Hook the ramps securely on the platform of
the truck with the top of the ramp level with the
platform.
(9) Always prepare for even the worst, by never al-
lowing other persons near the tractor.
(10) Drive the tractor carefully at the moment the trac-
tor moves from the ramps onto the platform, for it
changes angle abruptly.
