The machine will probably roll over or fall off
during loading and unloading. Ensure to take
the following safety measures:
Select a solid and level ground and keep a
sufficient spacing from the road curb.
Fix the ramps of sufficient strength and
dimensions to the cargo body of truck. The
inclination of the ramps shall not exceed 15°. If
the ramps deflect downward excessively, please
support the ramps by supports or cushion
blocks.
Do not load or unload the machine by working
device. Otherwise, it will probably result in
rollover or falloff of machine.
Keep the truck cargo body and the ramps clean
without oil, sand, ice/snow, or other impurity, in
order to prevent the side slip of machine. Clean
the tracks.
Block the wheels of transport truck by wedges
Stop block
15°or less
to prevent movement. While loading or
unloading the machine, drive the machine
slowly in 1st gear (low speed) as per the signals
of the signaler.
Do not change direction on ramps.
Do not slew/swing on ramps. Otherwise the
machine will probably roll over.
Slewing (swinging) the machine on the cargo
body of truck will probably result in unstable
legs of machine. Therefore, operate slowly.
If possible, lock the cab doors after loading.
Otherwise the cab doors will probably open
during the transport.
Plug securely the tracks by wedges and then fix
the machine to the truck cargo body securely by
ropes or chains.
