Transportation 0.
The machine can be divided into parts for transportation, so when transportating the machine, please contact your
Komatsu distributor to have the work carried out.
Loading and unloading 0.
When loading or unloading the machine, mistaken operation
may bring the hazard of the machine tipping over or falling, so
particular care is necessary. Always do as follow:.
Perform loading and unloading on firm, level ground only.
Maintain a safe distance from the edge of the road or cliff.
Always use ramps of adequate strength. Be sure that the
ramps are wide, long, and thick enough to provide a safe
loading slope. Take suitable steps to prevent the ramps
from moving out of position or coming off.
Be sure the ramp surface is clean and free of grease, oil, ice
and loose materials. Remove dirt from machine-tracks. On
a rainy day, in particular, be extremely careful since the
ramp surface is slippery.
Run the engine at low speed and travel slowly.
Never correct your steering on the ramps. If necessary,
drive off the ramps, correct the direction, then enter the
ramps again.
When loading or unloading to an embankment or platform,
make sure that it has suitable width, strength, and grade.
For machines equipped with a cab, always lock the door
after boarding the machine. If this is not done, the door may
suddenly open during transportation.
Refer to “Transportation on page 3-98“.
Shipping 0.
When shipping the machine on a trailer, do as follows:
The weight, transportation height, and overall length of the
machine differ according to the work equipment, so be sure
to confirm the dimensions.
When passing over bridges or structures on private land,
check first that the structure is strong enough to support the
weight of the machine. When traveling on public roads,
check first with the relevant authorities and follow their
instructions.
Lock the frame with the safety bar to prevent the machine
from articulating.
For details of the shipping procedure, see “Transportation
on page 3-98“ in the OPERATION section.
