SAFETY
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident.

TRANSPORTATION

LOADING AND UNLOADING
Loading and unloading the machine always involves potential
●
hazards. EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED.
When loading or unloading the machine, run the engine at
low idling and travel at low speed.
Perform loading and unloading on firm, level ground only.
●
Maintain a safe distance from the edge of a road.
ALWAYS block the wheels of the hauling vehicle and place
●
blocks under both ramps before loading and unloading.
ALWAYS use ramps of adequate strength. Be sure the ramps
●
are wide and long enough to provide a safe loading slope.
Be sure that the ramps are securely positioned and fastened,
●
and that the two sides are at the same level as one another.
Be sure the ramp surface is clean and free of grease, oil, ice
●
and loose materials. Remove dirt from the machine wheels.
NEVER correct your steering on the ramps. If necessary,
●
drive away from the ramps and climb again.
Swing the upper structure with extreme care on the trailer to
●
avoid a possible accident caused by body instability.
After loading, block the machine wheels and secure the
●
machine with tie-downs.
Do not slew the machine when the work equipment has been
●
removed or the machine has been supplied without work
equipment.
The machine may tip if the machine slewed when no work
equipment is fitted.
Loading and unloading, see "TRANSPORTATION (195)"
SHIPPING
When shipping the machine on a hauling vehicle, obey all
●
state and local laws governing the weight, width, and length
of a load. Also obey all applicable traffic regulations.
Determine the shipping route while taking into account the
●
width, height and weight of the load.
