2.12 Loading and Unloading

WARNING
• Use sturdy ramps with proper width, length and thickness which allow safe
loading and unloading.
• If the ramps deflect considerably under load, apply wooden blocks to reinforce
them.
• Loading should be conducted on a level and hard ground. Leave a sufficient
distance between the machine and the shoulder.
• To prevent slippage on the ramps, keep the drums free from mud, oils, etc. The
ramps must also be free of grease, oil and ice.
• Do not steer the machine on the ramps. If the machine is facing in the wrong
direction, allow it to dismount from the ramps and correct the direction.
For loading and unloading, use ramps or a proper loading stand.
2.12.1 Use of a trailer equipped with a winch
WARNING
Placing the unloader valve in UNLOAD position disrupts the power for traction.
Do not enter the areas ahead of and behind the machine. It is very dangerous.
1) Engage the trailer brake and chock its wheels. Fix the
ramps so that the machine and trailer are completely
aligned.
☆ The angle between the ramps and ground must be
less than 15 degrees.
☆ Leave a proper space between the ramps according
to the width of the roller drum.
2) Decide the correct direction of run and make the
machine run forward to the ramps.
3) Draw the wire rope from the trailer winch and put its
hook on the hooking point ① or ② (One each on right
and left) of the roller.
4) Place the unloader valve located at the engine room to
the UNLOAD position (refer to Unloader valve on page
