Loading the machine
1. Load or unload the machine only on firm, level ground.
Maintain a safe distance from the road shoulder or slopes.
2. Apply the parking brake of the trailer and block the wheels
with chocks to ensure that the trailer does not move.
Then fix the ramps in line with the centres of the trailer and
the machine.
Check that both sides are of equal height.
The ramp's angle of inclination must not exceed 15°.
Set the distance between the ramps to match the centre of
the tyres.
If the ramp sags noticeably, reinforce it with blocks or similar.
3. Determine the direction of the ramp, then slowly load the
machine.
4. Load the machine correctly in the specified position on the
trailer.
