3.2.8 Ground Conditions
3.2.9 Transporting load across ground
•
Firm ground is required for loading and unloading with the PHT2-140 device. Concrete, asphalt,
rolled road base are suitable.
•
Small stones or bumps can reduce the ability to manoeuvre the loaded device into a good position
for executing a lift.
•
If sloped, try to approach lift up or down hill
– not across the slope. For more information on this,
see ‘SLOPE GUIDE section 5’.
•
For transporting the load across ground, firm and smooth ground is required.
•
If ground is not firm and smooth, it may be more convenient to unload and use other means to
transport the load across ground. For example, some small machinery has pneumatic wheels built
in which can be more appropriate for transportation across earth or turfed areas.
•
When unloading, beware of any features of the ground such as pot holes which could cause
sudden movements or unexpected resistance or shifts of balance.
•
Keep the load low at all times while moving across the ground in a
hands neutral
position (defined in section 3.2.5 and 4.0).
•
The wheels are designed for hard smooth surfaces.
•
If moving on a slope, obey the gui
des shown in the ‘SLOPE GUIDE’ section 5 of
this document.
•
Only carry a load in a forward direction.
•
Consider using the wheels already fixed to the unit which might be more
appropriate for rough or soft ground.
•
Don’t take hands off the machine while loaded.
