Loading and Transporting Obey all applicable over-the-road regulations when transporting the machine. Check restrictions regarding weight, width and load length. The hauling vehicle, trailer and load must all be in compliance with regulations. Make sure the transport vehicle and the loading ramp are in proper working condition and have sufficient capacity for the load.
CAUTION
1. Park the transport vehicle on solid, even ground when loading. 2. Clean the loader and transport vehicle. 3. Attach ramps securely to the transport vehicle to prevent them from slipping during loading. Do not use ramps inclined at an angle greater than 17° (30%). Clean dirt, mud, ice and snow from the ramps. Use metal loading ramps with a slip-resistant surface and beveled ends to prevent damage to the loader tires.
CAUTION
4. Engage the transport vehicle parking brake and chock the wheels. 5. Complete all steps in “Driving on Public Roads” on page 52. 6. Carefully back the loader onto the transport vehicle, so that the heavy end of the loader is near the cab of the transport vehicle. Do NOT adjust travel direction while driving up ramps. Instead, back off the ramps and re-align the machine with the ramps. Do not allow anyone to walk beside, behind or in front of the loader during loading and unloading. Always use the “slow” travel speed when loading the machine.
WARNING
7. Perform the “Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure” on page 8. 8. Secure the steering lock bar in the transport position using the cotter pins (1, Figure 64) provided. 9. Lock the cab, if so equipped. 10. Chock the machine’s tires to prevent them from rolling. 1 Figure 64 – Steering/Frame Lock Bar in Locked Position
