• When loading or unloading the machine, lower the engine speed, set the speed range to the 1st, and
operate slowly.
• Use ramps with ample width, length, thickness, and strength and install them with a maximum slope
of 15°.
If the ramps deflect much, reinforce them with blocks, etc.
• Load the machine on a flat and firm ground.
Secure sufficient distance from the road edge.
• Remove mud, etc. from the undercarriage of the machine so that the machine does not slip side-
ways on the ramps.

• Never correct your steering on the ramps. There is danger that the machine may tip over.
If necessary, drive off the ramps or back on to the trailer and correct the direction.
• The center of gravity of the machine shifts suddenly at the joint between the ramps and the trailer,
and it is dangerous that the machine loses its balance. Pass slowly.
