6.3 Transport Loading / Unloading procedure
1.
Load the machine only on firm and level ground.
2.
Before driving onto the ramps, clean them and the machine tracks of any
materials that may cause slippage (snow, ice, water, mud, sludge, oil, etc.).
3.
Properly align the machine with the loading ramp.
4.
Have a guide give the machine operator any necessary signs to maximize
safety during loading.
5.
Move carefully onto the ramps and transport vehicle.
6.
Have a guide instruct you as to where and when to stop and park the
machine. Lower the lift arms and turn off the engine.
7.
Before securing the machine, relieve all residual pressure by making sure
the operating levers and the auxiliary hydraulic switch are in their neutral
positions. Remove the ignition key.
8.
Secure the door, windows and hood on the machine.
9.
Secure the machine and any other items to the transport vehicle with
chains or ropes of the proper capacity.
10. Before departure, investigate the route to be taken, especially in regard to
limits for width, height and weight.
11. Pay close attention when driving under electrical lines, bridges, or through
tunnels.
Electrocution hazard exists if electrical lines are contacted! Stay clear of
electrical lines!
12. To unload, reverse steps 1-9 of this procedure. Use the same caution when
unloading as for loading. Remove all cables or chains. Start the engine as
described in the operating instructions. Carefully drive down the ramp from
the transport vehicle using a guide if necessary to direct movement.
