Transporting the machine
NOTICE
Select low engine speed and low travelling speed
for loading and unloading the machine.
NOTE!
Make sure that loading ramps and platforms are
free from oil, mud, ice and similar so that the
machine does not begin to slip.
NOTE!
When the dozer plate is in the rear position (180
degree rotation), the travel system operation is
reversed. Take care when operating with the dozer
blade at the rear.
Loading
1 Place the trailer on a firm and level ground.
2 Apply the brake of the trailer.
3 Insert blocks in front of and behind the tyres of
trailer.
4 Fix loading ramp securely.
- Make sure that the strength, width, length and
thickness of the planks are safe for loading.
- Make sure that the angle of loading ramp is 15°
or less.
5 Align the machine's tracks to the ramp, the dozer
blade to the rear (to serve as a support in case
of an operating error) and the attachments to the
front position (A).
6 Drive to the end of the ramp, extend the
attachments to position (B), so that the machine
tips on to the loading platform of the trailer.
Lower the excavating equipment and the dozer
blade to the loading platform.
