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) Always turn the auto-idle switch OFF when
loading or unloading the machine, to avoid
unexpected speed increase due to unintentional
operation of a control lever.
5) Always select the slow speed mode with the
travel mode switches. In the high speed mode,
travel speed may automatically increase.
6) 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.
7) Do not operate any levers besides the travel
levers when driving up or down the ramp.
8) The top end of the ramp where it meets the
flatbed is a sudden bump. Take care when
traveling over it.
9) Prevent possible injury from machine tipping
while the upperstructure is rotating.
10) Keep the arm tucked under and rotate the
upperstructure slowly for best stability.
11) Securely fasten chain or cables to the machine
frame. Refer to "transporting" chapter in the
operator's manual for details.
