SAFETY TRANSPORTING
The danger of tipping is present when loading/unloading
the machine onto/from a truck or trailer bed.
•
Be sure to observe local regulations when transporting
the machine on public roads.
•
Provide an appropriate truck or trailer for transporting
the machine.
Take the following precautions when loading/unloading
the machine:
1. Select firm level ground.
2. Be sure to use a loading dock or ramp.
3. Be sure to have a signal person when load-
ing/unloading the machine.
4. Always turn the auto-idle switch OFF when loading or
unloading the machine, to avoid unexpected speed
increase due to unintentional operation of a control
lever.
5. Always select the slow speed mode with the travel
mode switches. In the high speed mode, travel speed
may automatically increase.
6. Avoid steering while driving up or down the ramp as it
is extremely dangerous. If steering is unavoidable,
first move back to the ground or flatbed, modify trav-
eling direction, and begin to drive again.
7. Do not operate any levers besides the travel levers
when driving up or down the ramp.
8. The top end of the ramp where it meets the flatbed is
a sudden bump. Take care when traveling over it.
9. Prevent possible injury from machine tipping while
the upperstructure is rotating.
10. Securely fasten chain or cables to the machine frame.
