SAFETY STANDARDS FOR TRANSPORT
• Widen the carriage platform before tackling the ramps.
• Adjust the distance between the ramps in function of the roadway of the two
tracks.
• Always empty the basket before tackling the ramps.
• Climb the ramps proceeding with the machine oriented with the basket
towards the rear.
• Close to the variation of inclination between ramp and floor truck / trailer,
proceed with great caution to avoid jolts.
• Proceed very slowly on the ramps adjusting the speed with the proportional
levers. In the elevation changes proceed at minimum speed possible. MAKE
SURE THAT THE ENGINE IS AT IDLE SPEED (turtle speed select). Maintain
a constant speed. Avoid abrupt starts and braking. Make sure before procee‐
ding on the ramps that each track is FULLY content on the surface of each ramp.
In tackling the ramps proceed with PERFECTLY straight trajectory making
sure at ALL times that each track is FULLY contained on the surface of each
ramp.
• Place the machine so that no part of it comes out of the shape of the vehicle.
For the descent follow the requirements above.
During the translation phases and stages of change of slope careful not to da‐
mage the safety devices placed under the basket and near the end of the first

pe of ramps or use ramps longer.
