5. TRANSPORT PRECAUTIONS
CAUTIONS WHEN LOADING OR UNLOADING
• Be especially careful when loading or unloading the
Machine because the risks intervene.
• 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.
• Use the ramps under 15° or smaller angle. In addition, make
the clearance between ramps to meet the center of the
crawler.
• Always set the Machine in the “travelling posture” and
securely insert the position pins (4 pieces) to the outrigger
rotary parts before loading or unloading the Machine.
See “OPERATION 2.5 MACHINE TRAVELLING
POSTURE” for details.
• Always move backward when loading the machine. Moving
forward may cause the machine to fall.
• When loading or unloading, set the engine rotation to low
idling (low speed rotation) and operate slowly by low speed
travels.
• Use the ramps that have fully strong width, length and
thickness, and that enable safe loading/unloading.
Reinforce with blocks or other substances if the ramps
deflect much.
• Remove the mud and other substances from the footing to
prevent the Machine from skidding over the ramps. Remove
the substances stuck on the ramps such as grease, oil or
ice, and keep clean.
Be especially careful on the rainy days where slips easily
occur.
• Never change direction over the ramp. Temporarily leave
the ramp before correcting the direction.
• Be slow when operating to change the direction on the truck
platform where the footing is unstable.
• After loading the Machine, apply the wood blocks so that the
Machine does not move, and securely fix with wire ropes or
other means.
• Make sure if the hook block is stowed to the hook stowage
wire. Or secure the hook block to the truck deck.
