Automatic Engine Speed Control (AEC) will increase engine speed automatically when you operate the control levers and/or travel pedals with AEC switch on.When loading and unloading machine from truck or working in close quarters always turn AEC switch off to prevent any possibility of sudden movement of machine, which could result in serious injury or death.Set the travel speed control switch to LOW before loading the machine. Never operate this switch when loading the machine on a trailer.
Investigate the travel route for overpass clearances. Make sure there will be adequate clearance for the machine.Remove ice, snow, or other slippery material from the loading dock and the truck bed before loading. This will prevent the machine from slipping while loading or shifting in transit.
Obey all state and local laws governing the mass, width, and length of a load.Observe all regulations governing wide loads.
1. Choose the flattest ground possible for loading or unloading the machine.2. Block the trailer or rail car wheels before loading.3. Make sure that there is adequate length, width, firmness, and slope to the loading ramps being used.4. The angle between the loading ramps and the ground, should be less than 15 degrees.5. Position the machine so that it can be run straight on the loading ramps. The final drives should be to the rear of the machine when loading and unloading the machine. Never operate control levers other than the travel lever while the machine is on the loading ramps.6. Maintain the machine balance point while traveling over the loading ramp joint areas.7.
