OPERATION

TRANSPORTATION

When transporting the machine, observe all related laws and reg-
ulations, and be careful to assure safety.

LOADING, UNLOADING WORK

● Loading or unloading the machine can be a dangerous
operation, so be particularly careful.
When loading or unloading the machine, run the engine
at low idling and travel at low speed.
Make sure the ramp has sufficient width, length and
●
thickness to enable the machine to be safely loaded and
unloaded. If the ramp sags appreciably, reinforce it with
blocks, etc.
When loading and unloading the machine, park the trailer
●
on a flat firm road surface. Keep a fairly long distance
between the road shoulder and the machine.
Remove the mud from the undercarriage to prevent the
●
machine from slipping to the side on slopes.
Be sure the ramp surface is clean and free of grease, oil,
ice and loose materials.
Never change the direction of travel when on the ramps.
●
If it is necessary to change direction, drive off the ramps
and correct the direction, then drive on to the ramps
again.
Swing lock switch should always be engaged during
●
transportation.
When turning the machine on the trailer, the machine's
●
footing is unstable, so carry out the operation slowly.
Always check that the door on the cab is locked, regard-
●
less of whether it is open or closed.
Do not open or close the door on ramps or on a platform.
This may cause a sudden change in the operating force.
When loading or unloading the machine with the auto-
●
matic warming-up operation mode, if the automatic mode
is released, the speed may change suddenly. Avoid load-
ing or unloading during automatic warming-up operation.
