10. Transporting Machine
When loading and unloading this machine onto a truck for transportation, follow these safety
precautions.
1. Use ramps that have ample strength (that can hold the total weight of the machine and operator),
width (at least 1.2 times the width of the crawler), and length (at least 3 times the height of the bed
of the truck), and are fitted with no-slip pads. Choose a place where the ramps will not bend under
the weight of the machine.
2. Fit the hooks of the ramps to the bed of the truck so that they do not slip and so that there is no
height difference from the bed of the truck.

•
When loading and unloading the machine, do not allow any-
one to come near the machine or the ramps.
•
Do not change direction on the ramps. There is a danger
that the machine will fall off.
•
When driving up the ramps, shift the gear shift lever to the
forward 1st position, and when driving down, shift it to the
reverse 1st position, then travel slowly.
DANGER
The gravity center of the machine may suddenly shift, when
crossing from the ramps into the bed of the truck.
CAUTION
