TRANSPORTING BY ROAD

When transporting the machine on public roads, be sure to
first understand and follow all local regulations.
• For transporting using a trailer, check the width, height,
length and weight of the trailer when the machine is
loaded.
• Investigate beforehand the conditions of the route to be
traveled, such as dimensional limits, weight limits, and
traffic regulations. In some cases, getting approval from
the authority concerned, disassembling the machine to
bring it within dimensional limits or weight limits of local
regulations may become necessary.

TRANSPORTING BY TRAILER

Provide an appropriate trailer while referring to the weight and
dimensions shown in the specifications. When transporting
the machine within the weight and dimensions shown in the
specifications by a trailer, it is possible to transport the ma-
chine without disassembling.

LOADING/UNLOADING ON TRAILER

WARNING: Be sure to use a loading dock or a ramp for
loading/unloading.
Always load and unload the machine on a firm, level surface.
Ramp/Loading Dock:
1. Before loading, thoroughly clean the ramps, loading dock
and flatbed. Dirty ramps, loading docks, and flatbeds
with oil, mud, or ice on them are slippery and dangerous.
2. Place blocks (1) against the trailer wheels so that the trail-
er does not move while using a ramp or loading dock.
3. Ramps must be sufficient in width, length, and strength.
Be sure that the incline of the ramp is less than 15 de-
grees.
4. Loading docks must be sufficient in width and strength
to support the machine and have an incline of less than
15 degrees.
