Unloading the machine from a trailer

UNLOADING THE MACHINE FROM A TRAILER

The following precautions should be observed while unloading the machine from a trailer.

• Travel slowly in reverse along the flatbed.

• Once at the flatbed end and before the machine starts falling forward onto the ramp (shifting the position of its centre of gravity), lower the bucket flat side on the ground (boom to dipper angle to be 90° to 110°).

• Drive slowly forward while retracting the boom, extending the dipper and repositioning the bucket laying on the ground until the entire machine is unloaded.

WARNING

Always stop the machine before selecting travel mode and setting brake switch to work

. Fast travel mode selection can be dangerous for loading operations and is to be avoided during unloading.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the front attachment, observe the following while unloading the machine: minimum angle between boom and arm should never be lower than 90° and the bucket should not violently hit the ground.
