TRANSPORTATION OPERATION 6. If the machine is equipped with work equipment, set the work equipment at the front, and travel forward to load it; if it has no work equipment, travel in reverse to load it. Follow instructions and signals of a conductor particularly when traveling in reverse. 7. Before moving onto the ramps, make sure that the machine is positioned in a straight line with the ramps and that the centerline of the machine matches that of the trailer. Align the direction of travel with the ramps and travel slowly. Lower the work equipment as far as possible without caus- ing interference. When on the ramps, operate only the travel lever. Do not operate any other lever. 8.
When the machine travels over the rear wheels of the trailer, it becomes unstable, so drive slowly and carefully. (Never operate the steering.) 9. At the moment the machine passes the rear wheels, it tilts forward, so be careful not to let the work equipment hit the trailer body. Drive the machine forward to the specified position, then stop the machine. 10. Turn the swing lock switch OFF to release the swing lock, then swing the upper structure slowly 180°. 11. Stop the machine at the specified position on the trailer. 12. Turn the swing lock switch ON to lock the swing lock. ON 3-110
