PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRANSPORTING
AG7F001PE
Ramp
Distance between ramps
15º or less
Stopper
The machine may roll or tip over or fall while
being loaded or unloaded. Take the following
precautions:
• Select a firm, level surface and keep
sufficient distance from road shoulders.
• Secure the ramps of adequate strength
and size to the truck bed. The slope of the
ramps must not exceed 15°. If the rumps
are bowed down too low, support them
with poles or blocks.
•
Never use the working equipment to load
or unload the machine. Doing so may
result in tipping over or falling down of the
machine.
•
Keep the truck bed and loading ramps
clean of oil, soil, ice, snow, and other
materials to prevent the machine from
sliding sideways. Clean the crawlers.
• Chock the transporter wheels to prevent
movement.
•
When being loaded or unloaded, travel
slowly in 1st (low) gear by following the
signal from the signal person.
• Never change courses on the ramps.
• Do not slew/swing on the ramps. The
machine may tip over.
• When slewing/swinging on the truck bed,
do it slowly as the footing should be
unstable.
•
Chock the tracks and secure the machine
to the truck bed with wire rope or chain.
