Safety Transporting - Hitachi EX27U Operator's Manual

SAFETY TRANSPORTING

•
The danger of tipping is present when loading/unloading
the machine onto/from a truck or trailer bed.
• Be sure to observe local regulations when transporting
the machine on public roads.
• Provide an appropriate truck or trailer for transporting
the machine.
Take the following precautions when loading/unloading
the machine:
1. Select firm level ground.
2. Be sure to use a loading dock or ramp.
3. Be sure to have a signal person when loading/
unloading the machine.
4. Be sure to load/unload the machine at slow speed.
5. Avoid steering while driving up or down the ramp as it
is extremely dangerous. If steering is unavoidable,
first move back to the ground or flatbed, modify
traveling direction, and begin to drive again.
6. Do not operate any levers besides the travel levers
when driving up or down the ramp.
7. The top end of the ramp where it meets the flatbed is
a sudden bump. Take care when traveling over it.
8. Prevent possible injury from machine tipping while
the upperstructure is rotating.
9. Keep the arm tucked under and rotate the
upperstructure slowly for best stability.
10. Securely fasten chain or cables to the machine frame.
Refer to "transporting" chapter in this manual for
