6.3 CAUTIONS WHEN LOADING MACHINE
•Select a location that is level and has firm road surface when loading or unloading the
machine. In addition, keep enough distance from the roadside.
•After loading, please make sure if the hook block is secured to the hook stowage wire
or to the truck deck. Otherwise, there may be a danger of serious injury due to falling of
the machine or slewing of the boom.
Load the machine to the specified position on the truck and
secure the machine with the following procedure.
1. Stop the engine and remove the starter switch key.
2. Insert square timbers in the front and the back of each
crawler belt to prevent accidental movement during
transportation, and secure the machine with chains or
wire ropes.
Especially making sure it is properly secured so that it
cannot move from side to side.
3. Please make sure if the hook block is secured to the
hook stowage wire or to the truck deck.
Even if it cannot be fixed directly to the truck deck, be
sure to take measures to prevent the boom from
slewing.
NOTES
• If you fix the hook block to the truck deck, fix the hook
block vertically to the fixing surface. If it is difficult to fix
vertically, tilt to the machine side and fix. Fixing by tilting
to opposite side of the machine may damage wire rope.
• To lower the hook block from the stowed condition,
select the crane mode from the pick & carry mode and
lower it by unwinding operation.
6.4 CAUTIONS DURING TRANSPORTATION

route.
