TRANSPORT SAFELY

Take care the machine may turn over when loading
or unloading the machine onto or off of a truck or
trailer.
Observe the related regulations and rules for safe
transportation.
Select an appropriate truck or trailer for the ma-
chine to be transported.
Be sure to use a signal person.
Always follow the following precautions for load-
ing or unloading:
1. Select solid and level ground.
2. Always use a ramp or deck strong enough to
support the machine weight.
3. Turn auto-idle switch OFF.
4. Always select the slow speed mode with the
travel mode switch.
5. Never load or unload the machine onto or off a
truck or trailer using the front attachment func-
tions when driving up or down the ramp.
6. Never steer the machine while on the ramp. If the
traveling direction must be changed while the
ramp, unload the machine from the ramp, repo-
sition the machine on the ground, and then try
loading again.
7. The top end of the ramp where it meets the flat-
bed is a sudden bump. Take care when traveling
over it.
8. Place blocks in front of and behind the tracks.
Securely hold the machine to the truck or trailer
deck with wire ropes.
Be sure to further follow the details described in the
TRANSPORTING section in the operator's manual.
