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 fall 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
track, set slipproof 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) Be sure to interlock the right and left brake pedals
ahead of time. Never depress the brake pedals or
clutch pedal during loading or unloading operation,
or the tractor may shift sideways, which may cause
it to fall off the ramps.
(5) If the engine stalls unexpectedly on the ramps,
depress the brake pedals immediately and roll the
tractor to the ground by manipulating the brake
pedals. 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 securely
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.
