. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION When loading or unloading the machine, mistaken operation may bring the hazard of the machine tipping over or falling, so particular care is necessary. Always do as follows. LOADING AND UNLOADING Perform loading and unloading on firm, level ground only. Maintain a safe distance from the edge of the road or cliff. Always use ramps of adequate strength. Be sure that the ramps are wide, long, and thick enough to provide a safe loading slope. Take suitable steps to prevent the ramps from moving out of position or coming off. Be sure the ramp surface is clean and free of grease, oil, ice and loose materials. Remove dirt from the tire of the machine.
On a rainy day, in particular, be extremely careful since the ramp surface is slippery. Run the engine at low idling and drive the machine slowly at low speed. Never correct your steering on the ramps. If necessary, drive off the ramps, correct the direction, then enter the ramps again. When loading or unloading to an embankment or platform, make sure that it has suitable width, strength, and grade. For machines equipped with a cab, always lock the door after boarding the machine. If this is not done, the door may suddenly open during transportation. Refer to "TRANSPORTATION (PAGE 3-170)". (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Blocks Ramp Width of ramps: Same width as tiers Angle of ramps: Max.
