TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
Before transporting the machine be sure what you are using to transport the machine is capable of supporting the weight of the
machine. Be sure it is wide enough and rated for the load.
LOADING AND SECURING THE MACHINE
Be sure the area you will be loading the machine in is flat and dry.
Check the ramps and support surface for damage, weak spots, missing
boards or excess ware. If these surfaces look unsafe, too weak or unsta-
ble do not load the machine. Be sure the loading equipment and trans-
portation equipment are in good condition and rated for your load.
Locate the tie down and transportation brackets on the machine. Be sure
they are in good condition.
When getting ready to load the machine be sure the loading ramps are
no higher than 15
°
Position the machine squarely with the ramps. Raise the loader bucket
high enough to clear all surfaces.
Travel up the ramp at a slow speed in low range. Position the bucket (1)
facing forward and travel straight up the ramp.
Once the machine has been loaded, rest the front bucket on the floor, set
the machine in neutral and set the parking brake.
Lower the backhoe (2) on to the floor and set all control locks including
the backhoe lock pin. See “SAFETY LOCK USAGE” on page 2-44.
Turn the ignition key off and remove the key.
Secure the machine with tie-downs/chains (4) at the anchor points shown in illustrations (A & B).
To help keep the machine in position, place blocks (3) in front and behind the front and rear wheels for extra support.
Protect the exhaust stack (5) from moisture if needed.
