speed to suddenly change.
•
Always travel the machine slowly. Press the
travel mode switch (1) toward the TURTLE
side.
•
Steering on a ramp may create a danger of tip-
ping over. Never attempt to change travel di-
rection on a ramp, possibly causing the ma-
chine to become unstable. If steering is un-
avoidable, first move back to the ground, mod-
ify traveling direction, and begin to drive again.
•
The top end of the ramp where it meets the
flatbed, there is a sudden bump. Slowly drive
over it.
•
Take extra care when rotating the upperstruc-
ture on the flatbed to prevent possible injury
from machine tipping. Slowly rotate the upper-
structure with the arm fully rolled in under the
boom to maintain the good machine stability.
1. Load the machine on the trailer so that the centerline
of the machine aligns with the centerline of the flat-
bed.
2. Drive the machine onto the ramp slowly.
3. Position the bucket above the flatbed. Operate the
front attachment so that the angle between the boom
and the arm is maintained at 90 to 110°.
4. The machine tips forward when the machine travels
over the top end of the ramp. Lower the bucket onto
the flatbed before the machine begins to tip forward.
5. After the machine reaches the specified position,
slightly lift the bucket up off the flatbed. Slowly rotate
the upperstructure 180° while keeping the arm fully
rolled in.
6. Lower the bucket on wooden blocks seated on the
flatbed.
7. Stop the engine. Remove the key from the switch.
8. Move the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK po-
sition.
9. Cover the openings on the machine to prevent wind
and/or rain from coming in.
WARNING: In cold weather, be sure to sufficiently
warm up the machine before loading or unloading
the machine.
