TRANSPORTING BY TRUCK When loading or unloading the machine on or off a transporting vehicle, use a special platform. If ramps are used, do the following.
Placing the Ramps • Use ramps capable of supporting the machine weight. Place them on the transporting vehicle securely. • The slope angle of the ramps should be between 10° to 15°. • Place the left and right ramps so that the transporting vehicle center is aligned with the machine center. • Apply the parking brake of the transporting vehicle and block the front and rear sides each tyre of the transporting vehicle with chocks. 10° ∼15°
Going Up and Down the Ramps • Go up the ramps forward and go down backward slowly. • Do not turn on the ramps. Align the machine crawlers with the ramps and proceed straight. If the machine is off course when going up the ramps, stop and go back down and try again. !
CAUTION
Before loading or unloading, clean up the ramps. If these are dirty with oil, mud or ice, the machine may slip during loading or unloading.
