Unloading - Hitachi ZAXIS 17U-2 Operator's Manual

UNLOADING

WARNING:
•
Always travel the machine slowly.
•
Steering on a ramp may create a danger of
tipping over. Never attempt to change travel
direction on a ramp, possibly causing the
machine to become unstable.
•
The top end of the ramp where it meets the
flatbed is a sudden bump. Slowly drive over it.
•
Use extra care when rotating the
upperstructure on the flatbed to prevent
possible injury from machine tipping over.
Slowly rotate the upperstructure with the arm
fully rolled in under the boom to maintain the
machine in good stability.
IMPORTANT: During loading operation, maintain the
angle between the boom and the arm at
90 to 110°. If the machine is unloaded
with the arm fully rolled in, damage to
the base machine may result.
1. Before moving the machine from the flatbed rear end
to the ramp, position the front attachment so that the
angle between the boom and the arm becomes into
the range of 90 to 110°. While allowing the bucket to
be contacted on the ground, slowly move the
machine.
IMPORTANT: When moving the machine over the end
of the flatbed onto the ramp, take care
not to allow the bucket to come in
contact with the ground. Damage to the
hydraulic cylinders may result.
2. Do not lift the bucket off the ground until the machine
is completely moved onto the ramp.
3. Slowly move the machine forward while raising the
boom and arm gradually until the machine is
completely off the ramp.
