Safety Transporting

 The danger of tipping is present when loading/unloading
the machine onto/from a truck or trailer bed.
 Be sure to observe local regulations when transporting
the machine on public roads.
 Provide an appropriate truck or trailer for transporting the
machine.
 Be sure to have a signal person.
 Take the following precautions when loading/unloading
the machine.
1. Select firm level ground.
2. Be sure to use a loading dock or ramp strong enough to
support the machine weight.
3. Ramps must be sufficient in width, length, and strength.
Be sure that the incline of the ramp is less than 15
degrees.
4. Loading docks must be sufficient in width and strength
to support the machine and have a gradient of less than
15 degrees.
5. Push auto-idle switch (1) to turn A/I display (2) OFF.
6. Select the slow travel mode for loading or unloading the
machine.
Always ensure that travel mode display (3) on the
monitor is , before traveling the machine.
7. Avoid steering while driving up or down the ramp as it
is extremely dangerous. If steering is unavoidable, first
move back to the ground or flatbed, modify traveling
direction, and begin to drive again.
8. The top end of the ramp where it meets the flatbed is a
sudden bump. Take care when traveling over it.
9. Wedge the front and rear of the tracks. Securely fasten
the machine to the trailer bed with chains or cables.
10. Do not operate any levers besides the travel levers when
driving up or down the ramp.
11. Prevent possible injury from machine tipping while the
upperstructure is rotating.
12. Keep the arm tucked under and rotate the
upperstructure slowly for best stability.
