Transportation Information
Transportation Method
Applicable laws and regulations must be observed when
transporting the machine.
• When transporting the machine on a trailer, confirm
the length, width, height, and weight capacity of the
trailer before loading.
• Investigate the road conditions in advance (for
example, dimension restrictions, weight restrictions,
and traffic regulations).
• The machine may need to be disassembled to meet
the local dimension and/or weight limits.
NOTE:
The machine’s shipping weight and dimensions
may vary, depending on equipped tracks and
work equipment.
Loading and Unloading
WARNING
• To prevent the machine from tipping over, select
a firm and level location that is a safe distance
from any road or structure.
• Make sure the trailer is properly chocked to
prevent any movement.
• Use an access ramp with enough length,
strength, and width to properly support the
machine. The ramp grade should not exceed 15°.
• Drive slowly at the junction of the ramp and the
trailer. The machine may shift suddenly due to a
change in its center of gravity.
• Use a signalman to alert the operator to any
potential hazards.
• Deactivate the auto idle mode before loading or
unloading, otherwise the machine may move
suddenly.
• Adjust the throttle control dial to MIN (low idle).
Operating the engine at high speed could result
in sudden, unexpected movement.
• Swinging the upper structure may cause the
machine to tip over.
• Grease, mud, or ice on the trailer, loading
platform, and ramps can cause the machine to
slide and tip over.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in
death or serious injury.
• Position the trailer and machine on a solid, level ground
and keep the machine a safe distance away from roads
during loading and unloading operations.

• Make sure the loading ramps have adequate width,
length, thickness, and strength. The maximum angle of
the ramps is 15° (1).
• Never change direction on the access ramp. If
repositioning the machine is necessary, back up,
re-orient the machine, and drive up or down the ramps.
• Use care when driving over the joints between the
trailer and the ramps.
• Retract and lower the arm and swing the upper
structure slowly to achieve optimal balance.
• Never operate any controls other than the travel levers
when the machine is on a ramp.
• Clean the landing platform, ramps, and trailer floor
before loading or unloading.
