TRANSPORT
LOADING AND UNLOADING
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 the ramps of adequate strength
and size to the truck bed. The slope of
the ramps must not exceed 15°. If the
rumps are bowed down too low,
support them with poles or blocks.
• 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.
• When being loaded or unloaded, travel
slowly in 1st (low) gear by following the
signal from the signal person.
• Never change courses on the ramp.
• Do not slew/swing on the ramp. The
machine may tip over.
• When slewing/swinging on the truck
bed, do it slowly as the footing should
be unstable.
• Lock the cab door after being loaded, if
applicable. Otherwise, the door may
open during transport.
• Chock the tracks and secure the
machine to the truck bed with wire rope
or chain.
LOADING AND UNLOADING
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.
When loading or unloading the machine, be
sure to use ramps or a platform and follow
the procedure below.
