OPERATION
Always observe the following regarding the ramps and trailer platform.
•
Use ramps with ample width, length, thickness, and strength and install them with a maximum slope
of 15 deg.
When using piled soil, compact the piled soil fully to prevent the slope face from collapsing.
•
Clean the machine tracks and ramps before starting in order to prevent the machine from slipping
on the ramps.
There is danger of the machine slipping if there is water, snow, grease, oil, or ice on the ramp sur-
face.
