LOADING/UNLOADING THE MACHINE
Loading/unloading the machine
• Load/unload the machine on a level and hard ground.
• Use ramps, platforms, and embankment with sufficient width, length, slope, rigidity, and strength.
• Remove mud and dirt of the undercarriage to prevent the machine from skidding on the ramp. In addition,
remove any deposit on the ramp including water, snow, ice, grease, and oil.
• When loading or unloading the machine, set engine speed to LOW and travel speed select switch to LOW (1st)
speed.
• Do not use the attachment for loading and unloading the machine to avoid danger.
• Use only the travel levers when the machine is on ramps.
• When going over the ramp top to/from a trailer, the machine may lose balance due to an abrupt change in the
center of gravity. Be sure to travel slowly.
• Be sure to turn the auto acceleration switch to the "OFF" position. When the machine is operated with the auto
acceleration turned to the "ON" position, the engine speed may change abruptly.
• Do not make a turn on the ramp to avoid tipping. Make a turn after returning to the ground or the trailer bed.
• When the machine is going down a slope or being loaded on or unloaded from the trailer, set the LOW (1st)/
HIGH (2nd) travel speed select switch to LOW.
Since the LOW (1st)/HIGH (2nd) automatic travel speed select switching system automatically changes the
traveling speed, it may adversely affect machine control when the machine is going down a slope or being
loaded on or unloaded from the trailer. This abrupt change of machine control may cause severe accidents.
• Perform loading and unloading the machine according to the guidance of a signal person.
