OPERATION
TRANSPORTATION
LOADING, UNLOADING WORK
WARNING
Since loading and unloading of the machine is dangerous, be extremely careful.
When loading or unloading the machine, operate it slowly with the engine speed low and the transmission in the 1st gear.
Use ramps having sufficient width, length, thickness, and strength. Install them securely and set their angle to 15° or less.
If the ramps are deflected appreciably, reinforce them with blocks.
Perform the loading work of the machine on firm, level ground. Secure sufficient distance between the shoulder of the road and
the trailer.
Remove mud from the undercarriage of the machine so that the machine will not slip sideways on the ramps. In addition,
remove water, snow, ice, grease, oil, etc. from the ramps.
Never steer the machine on the ramps, since steering on the ramps can cause the machine to tip over. If it is necessary to
change the travel direction, return to the ground or to the bed of the trailer, then change the travel direction.
The center of gravity of the machine shifts suddenly at the border between the ramps and trailer, and the machine is
unbalanced and becomes dangerous. Accordingly, pass the border slowly.
When loading or unloading, always use ramps or a platform. Proceed as follows.
LOADING

idle.

7. The center of gravity of the machine shifts suddenly at the
border between the ramps and trailer, and the machine is
unbalanced and becomes dangerous. Accordingly, pass the
border slowly.
