• Park transporter (truck) on a level ground. Always use chocks to secure wheels.
• Do not allow bystandars to come close to machine or transporter when loading
or unloading machine.
• Use only the loading ramps with sufficient strength (to withstand the combined
weight of machine and operator), width (more than 12 inches), and length (more
than 4 times the height of loading deck of transporter), and have anti-slip ramp
surfaces.
• Secure hooks of loading ramps firmly and flush with loading deck of
transporter.
•
When loading to or unloading from transporter, walk behind machine to
operate; do not ride on the step.
• Move slowly forward when loading onto, and move slowly backward when
unloading off of transporter. Pay special care when going over the joint
between loading deck and ramps; machine may tip.
• Do not turn on loading ramps. Machine may fall.
• Tie down machine securely. Make sure machine does not move around on
loading deck.
