13. TRANSPORTATION
When transporting the machine, observe all related laws and regula-
tions, and be careful to assure safety.
13.1
LOADING, UNLOADING WORK
• Loading or unloading the machine can be a dangerous opera-
tion, 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 tickness
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 roadbed. Keep a fairly long distance between the road
shoulder and the machine.
• Remove the mud from the undercarriage to prevent the ma-
chine 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.
• When turning the machine on the trailer, the machine's foot-
ing is unstable, so carry out the operation slowly.
• Always check that the door on the cab is locked, regardless 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 automatic
warming-up operation mode, if the automatic mode is re-
leased, the speed may change suddenly. Avoid loading or un-
loading during automatic warming-up operation.
When loading or unloading, always use ramps or a platform and
carry out the operations as follows.
1.
Properly apply the brakes on the trailer and insert blocks beneath the
tyres to ensure that it does not move. Then fix the ramps in line with
the centers of the trailer and the machine. Be sure that the two sides
are at the same level as one another.
Make the angle of the ramps a maximum of 15
Set the distance between the ramps to match the center of the
tracks.
