PRECAUTIONS WHEN LOADING/

UNLOADING THE EXCAVATOR

ALWAYS load and unload the dumper on level
ground.
ALWAYS

use

ramps which are strong, wide, long

and thick enough for the machine.
Remove any ice, snow or loose material from the
ramps and truck load bed before loading the
machine.
NEVER

steer

on the ramps.

Do not raise the arm too far when loading/unloading
the machine.

DO NOT LOAD/UNLOAD THE

MACHINE WITHOUT RAMPS - IT CAN TIP
OVER

NEVER

use the arm for loading/unloading the

machine. Doing so is extremely dangerous.

ALWAYS

make sure that the ramp is long and strong

enough to support the machine (length and weight).

TRANSPORT

Secure  the  machine  to  the  truck  with  steel  rope  and
other  equipment.  Before  starting,  check  that  the
height  clearance  of  tunnels  and  underpasses  along
the way is sufficient.
