Put travel speed control switch in low position before descending a slope and loading or unloading on trailer. Machine control may be adversely affected. Personal injury can result from sudden change in machine control
Investigate the travel route for overpass clearances. Make sure that there will be adequate clearance for the machine.Before you load the machine onto the trailer, remove ice, snow, or other slippery material from the loading dock and from the truck bed. This will prevent the machine from sliding while the machine is being loaded. This will also keep the machine from moving in transit.Note: Obey all laws that govern the characteristics of a load (height, weight, width, and length). Observe all regulations that govern wide loads.Choose the flattest ground when you load the machine or when you unload the machine.
Before you load the machine, chock the trailer wheels or the rail car wheels.
When you use loading ramps, make sure that the loading ramps have adequate length, adequate width, adequate strength, and an adequate slope.
Maintain the slope of the loading ramps within 15 degrees of the ground.
Position the machine so that the machine can drive straight up the loading ramps. The final drives should be toward the rear of the machine. Do not operate the joysticks while the machine is on the loading ramps.
When you drive over the loading ramp joint areas, maintain the balance point of the machine.
Lower the work tool to the bed or to the floor of the transport machine.
Do not allow the chrome surface of the bucket cylinder rod to touch any part of the trailer. Damage to the rod can occur from impact with the trailer during transport.

(B) 2.78 m (9. ft 1 inch) Make the following changes before shipping the machine.The 3 m (9 ft 8 inch) long stick with two pin holes is designed to offer minimum transportation height.Use pin hole (B) in machine transportation. Use pin hole (A) for machine operation.
Never use pinhole (B) for operation. Incorrect boom longstick-bucket combination could cause the bucket to hit the cab.
Use the following procedure to connect the stick cylinder rod to pin hole (B).
Fully extend the stick cylinder and the bucket cylinder. Lower the boom to the ground.
Remove the linkage pin from pin hole (A).
Align the pin hole of the stick cylinder rod with pin hole (B). Insert the linkage pin into pin hole (B). Use the linkage pin that was removed in Step 2.
