LOADING THE MACHINE ON
AND FROM A TRUCK
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• When loading the machine on or unloading
from a truck, be sure to use strong ramps.
Never use wet lumber, and so on.
• Keep the ramps at an angle such that the
machine can be kept stable (10 degrees to
15 degrees). Never try to change directions
while on the ramps.
• Do not alter the climbing direction when the
machine is already on the ramps.
If direction of climb needs correcting, first bring
the machine down off the ramps and correct the
climbing direction.
1. Before loading the machine onto a truck, apply the
parking brake of the truck and block the front and
rear wheels.
2. Fix the ramps securely to the truck so that the
machine and the truck cannot slip.
