TRANSPORTATION
When transporting the machine, observe all related laws and regulations, and be careful to assure safety.
STEPS FOR TRANSPORTATION
As a basic rule, always transport the machine on a trailer.
When selecting the trailer, see the weights and dimensions given in "SPECIFICATIONS (PAGE 5-2)".
Note that the specifications for the weights and dimensions for transportation differ according to the type of tires and
type of blade.
LOADING, UNLOADING WORK
WARNING
When loading or unloading the machine, run the engine at low speed, travel at low speed, and operate slowly.
When loading or unloading the machine, stop the trailer on firm level ground.
In addition, keep well away from the road shoulder.
Use ramps of ample width, length, thickness, and strength, and install them securely at an angle of less than 15 deg.
When using an embankment, compact the fill soil thoroughly and make sure that the slope face does not collapse.
Remove the mud stuck to the undercarriage to prevent the machine from slipping to the side on the ramps.
In addition, remove any water, snow, ice, grease, or oil from the ramps.
Never change direction on the ramps. There is danger that the machine may tip over.
If it is necessary to change direction, return to the ground surface or the trailer platform, correct the direction, and start again.
The position of the center of gravity of the machine will change suddenly at the connection of the ramp and trailer, and there
is danger of the machine losing its balance. Always drive slowly over this point.
When loading or unloading, always use ramps or a platform and carry out the operations as follows.
1.
Apply the brakes on the trailer securely and insert blocks under
the tires to ensure that the trailer does not move.
Then fix the ramps in line with the centers of the trailer and the
machine.
Be sure that the two sides are at the same height as one
another.
Make the angle of the ramps a maximum of 15 deg.
Set the distance between the ramps to match the center of the
tires.
2.
Set the machine in line with the ramps, then drive the machine
slowly to load or unload it.
3.
Load the machine correctly in the specified position on the
trailer.
REMARK
When loading or unloading the machine, rotate the blade from the travel posture, then raise it fully. This makes
it easier to load or unload the machine.
If the ripper teeth make it difficult to load the machine, remove the ripper teeth or install them so that they face
the top inside. This makes loading easier.
