Loading/Unloading
CAUTION:
･ ･ ･ ･ Avoid steering while driving up or down a ramp
as it is extremely dangerous. If steering is un-
avoidable, first move back to the ground or
flatbed, modify traveling direction, and begin
to drive again.
･ ･ ･ ･ The top end of the ramp where it meets the
flatbed is a sudden bump. Take care when
traveling over it.
･ ･ ･ ･ Prevent possible injury from machine tipping
while the upperstructure is rotating. Keep the
arm tucked under and rotate the upperstruc-
ture slowly for best stability.
Loading
1. The machine direction should be as follows:
With the front attachment: Travel forward with the
front attachment at the front.
Without the front attachment: Travel in reverse.
2. The centerline of the machine should be over the
centerline of the truck.
3. Drive the machine onto the ramp slowly.
With the front attachment:
• Position the bucket with its flat surface resting on
the truck. Angle of the arm to boom should be 90
to 110°.
• Rest the bucket on the truck just before the ma-
chine begins to tip forward onto the truck.
Slowly travel forward until the tracks are firmly on
the truck.
• Slightly raise the bucket. Keeping the arm tucked
under, slowly rotate the upperstructure 180°.
• Lower the bucket onto blocks.
4. Stop the engine. Remove the key from the switch.
5. Move the control levers several times until hydraulic
pressure in the cylinders is released.
6. Pull the pilot control shut-off lever to LOCK position.
7. Close cab windows, roof vent and door, to prevent
entry of wind and water.
NOTE: In cold weather, be sure to warm up the ma-
chine before loading or unloading it.
