dent during transportation. Always observe the following.
• Always check the machine dimensions carefully. Depending on the work equipment and optional devices
installed, the machine weight, transportation height, and overall length differ.
• Check beforehand that all bridges and other structures on the transportation route are strong enough to
withstand the combined weight of the transporter and the machine being transported.
• When the machine is transported on a public road, notify the authorities concerned and receive permission
of the transportation from them.
• This machine may need to be divided into components for transportation depending on the regulation.
When transporting the machine, consult your Komatsu distributor.
