2.7 After Operation
Check for the coolant temperature,engine oil pressure and fuel level.
Follow the procedures below to prevent the machine from falling into an unworkable condition
the following morning caused by muds and other extraneous matter on the drum, or frozen
drums:
1) Remove muds and water from the machine. Muds can get into the seals together with
water drops on the hydraulic cylinder piston rod. Damaged seals will result.
2) Park the machine on a hard and dry surface. If such a place is not available, cover the
ground with hard plates.
3) Low temperature will cause a significant reduction of battery efficiency. Cover batteries or
take them off from the machine and store in a warm place for the following day’s operation.

2.8 Loading and Unloading
WARNING
• Use sturdy ramps with proper width, length and thickness which allow safe
loading and unloading.
• If the ramps deflect considerably under load, apply wooden blocks to reinforce
them.
• Loading should be conducted on a level and hard ground. Leave a sufficient
distance between the machine and the shoulder.
• To prevent slippage on the ramps, keep the drums free from mud, oils, etc. The
ramps must also be free of grease, oil and ice.
• Do not steer the machine on the ramps. If the machine is facing in the wrong
direction, allow it to dismount from the ramps and correct the direction.
For loading and unloading, use ramps or a proper loading stand.
2.8.1 Use of a trailer equipped with a winch
WARNING
Placing the unloader valve in UNLOAD position disrupts the power for traction.
Do not enter the areas ahead of and behind the machine. It is very dangerous.
1) Engage the trailer brake and chock its wheels. Fix the
ramps so that the machine and trailer are completely
aligned.
☆
The angle between the ramps and ground must be less
than 15 degrees.
☆
Leave a proper space between the ramps according to
the width of the roller drum.
2) Decide the correct direction of run and make the
machine run forward to the ramps.
