The ascent and descent operations must always be carried out with the machine running and the
hydraulic oil at operating temperature.
Do not use the ramps as a gangway for crossing from one vehicle to the next.
For loading and unloading of the machine it is recommended to ascend in reverse gear and descend in
forward gear. In both cases it is recommended to keep the arm lowered and the bucket turned
downwards, parallel to the ramps. Block the eventual lowering of the loading platform with a truss or
other equipment.
Before ascending or descending, check perfect alignment between the tracks and the ramps.
Do
not steer or adjust direction while on the ramps
. If necessary, return to the point of departure,
repositioning correctly.
Caution of passage in the connection area between the ramps and the loading platform of
the truck
; the steep slope must be negotiated by moving very slowly and withextreme caution.
Be twice as careful in the descent phase since the unbalance towards the bottomin this case is much
higher. It is recommended to lower the arms and turn the bucket forwards to allow eventual
emergency shutdown.
All the loading and unloading operations of the machine must be carried out and co- ordinated by
at least a second person who controls good progress of the operations.
TRANSPORT
Once the machine has been positioned on the load plane, lightly rest the bucket and proceed to
blocking the machine lengthwise by inserting wedges in front of and behind the track rollers.
For transversal and vertical blocking use belts to prevent lateral and vertical movement
owing to jolts during transport.
Measure and check the maximum height of the load. During transport always follow the road
regulations and the specific regulations in force in the various countries of transit.
LIFTING
Check that the cabin is correctly fixed to the frame before lifting the machine.
Use the 4 supplied eye-bolts to lift the machine, by fixing them to the special seats located on the roof
of the cabin.
