PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRANSPORTING
AG7F001PE
Ramp
Distance between ramps
15º or less
Stopper
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°. If the rumps
are bowed down too low, support them
with poles or blocks.
• 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 tracks.
• 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. If it is
necessary, move down from the ramps,
change the course and then get on the
ramps again.
• Do not raise the lift arms on the ramp. The
machine may tip over.
• When raising the lift arms 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.
Hoist the machine safely
• Know and use correct crane signals.
• Check the hoisting equipment for damaged
or missing parts on a daily basis and
replace as necessary.
• When hoisting, use a wire rope capable of
lifting the machine mass.
• Hoist the machine in such a manner
described in the procedure below. Do not
do it in any other manner, as it may result in
the machine losing its balance.
Refer to “Hoisting the machine” for further
instructions.
• Do not hoist the machine with an operator
on it.
• When hoisting, hoist slowly so that the
machine does not tip.
• Keep everyone out of the area when
hoisting. Do not move the machine over
the heads of the persons.
Transport the machine safely
• Know and follow the applicable safety
rules, vehicle code and traffic laws when
transporting the machine.
• Select the best transport route by
considering the length, width, height and
weight of the truck with the machine
loaded on it.
• Never abruptly start or stop or run at a high
speed at the sharp curves during transport.
Doing so will move or lose the balance of
the loaded machine.
