Moving the machine
1.
The ramp must be strong enough to support the weight of the machine. Make sure
the slope of the ramp is less than 15°.
2.
Loading platforms must be wide and strong enough and must have slopes suited so
that the machine can travel to them.
3.
Before loading the machine be sure to thoroughly clean the ramp and the bed.
Ramps or beds that are dirty with oil, mud or ice are slippery and dangerous.
IMPORTANT: During cold seasons warm the machine up sufficiently before loading /
unloading the machine.
IMPORTANT
1.
Avoid steering when going up or down ramps since this can be extremely
dangerous. If it is absolutely necessary to steer first back to the ground or the
bed and then change the direction of travel an start back up or down again.
2.
Never actuate any lever excapt for the drive lever when going up or down a
ramp. Actuating other levers can cause the machine to become unbalanced
and tip over.
3.
There is a sudden jump in a level at the high end of the ramp where it meets the
bed. Be careful when going over this jump.
4.
Drive slowly on ramps
5.
The mid-line of the machine must be over the midline of the trailer.
IMPORTANT: fasten chains or cables to the machine chassis. Do not put chains or
cables over or against hydraulic hoses.
6.
Put wedges before and behind the tracks.
7.
Fasten each corner of the machine and fasten the front arm to the trailer with a chain
or a suitable anchor.
During the transport, position the fulel valve to OFF and make sure that the engine is in a
flat position, in order to avoid fuel leaks. The gasoline vapours or possible leaks could take
fire.
Precautions to be taken to transport the machine with rubber tracks
