SAFETY
Transporting Precautions
E4F001
Transport the machine safely
�
Know and follow the safety rules, vehicle
code and traffic laws when transporting
the machine.
�
Consider the length, width, height and
weight of the truck with the machine
loaded on it when determining the best
route.
Hoist the machine safely
�
Know and use correct crane signals.
�
Inspect the hoisting equipment daily for
damaged or missing parts.
�
When hoisting, use a wire rope with
sufficient strength with respect to the
machine’s weight.
�
Do not hoist the machine with an
operator(s) on it.
�
When hoisting, hoist slowly so that the
machine does not tip.
�
Keep all other persons out of the area
when hoisting. Do not move the machine
over the heads of the persons.
�
Do not hoist with the machine in a
posture other than the one described
in the procedure below. Doing so is
dangerous as it may result in the machine
losing its balance.
Refer to page 89 “Hoisting the machine”.
Load and unload the machine
safely
The machine may roll or tip over or fall while
loading or unloading it. Take the following
precautions:
�
Select a firm, level surface and keep
sufficient distance from road shoulders.
�
Use loading ramps of adequate strength
and size. Maintain the slope of loading
ramps within 15 degrees.
�
Secure the ramps to the truck bed.
�
Keep the truck bed and loading ramps
clean of oil, clay, ice, snow, and other
materials which can become slippery.
Clean the tracks.
�
Block the transport vehicle so it can not
move.
�
Use a signal person when loading and
unloading the machine, and travel slowly
in first gear (low speed).
�
Never change course on the ramp.
�
Do not slew (swing) on ramps. The
machine may tip over.
�
When slewing (swinging) on the truck
bed, do so slowly as the footing can be
unstable.
�
Engage the slew (swing) lock after
loading.
�
Block both tracks and secure the
machine to the truck bed with load
binders.
Fasten to the suspension fitting
