TRANSPORT
LOADING AND UNLOADING
WARNING
The machine may roll or tip over or fall
while being loaded or unloaded. Take the
following precautions:
• Select a firm, level surface and keep
sufficient distance from road shoulders.
• Secure ramps of adequate strength and
size to the truck bed. The slope of the
ramps must not exceed 15°.
• Never use the working equipment to
load or unload the machine. Doing so
may result in tipping over or falling
down of the machine.
• Keep the truck bed and loading ramps
clean of oil, soil, ice, snow, and other
materials to prevent the machine from
sliding sideways. Clean the crawlers.
• Chock the transporter wheels to prevent
movement.
• Turn off the deceleration switch and
auto-deceleration switch. Otherwise,
the engine speed may suddenly
increase to cause troubles (for
machines with the deceleration and
auto-deceleration switches).
• When being loaded or unloaded, travel
slowly in 1st (low) gear by following the
signal from the signal person.
• Never change courses on the ramps.
• Do not slew/swing on the ramps. The
machine may tip over.
• When slewing/swinging on the truck
bed, do it slowly as the footing should
be unstable.
When loading or unloading the machine, be
sure to use ramps or a platform and follow
the procedure below.
1. Set the parking brake on the transporter
and chock the wheels.
2. Fix the ramps securely to the truck bed.
The slope of the ramps must not exceed
15°.
3. Align the center of the truck bed with the
center of the machine, and of the ramp
with the center of the crawler.
4. Make sure the dozer blade does not hit
the ramps.
5. Lower the hoe attachment as far as
possible without letting it touch the
transporter.
6. Decrease the engine speed.
