TRANSPORTING THE EXCAVATOR ON A TRUCK
To avoid personal injury or death:
A No directional changes should be
made when the excavator is on the
ramp. Should a change of direction be
necessary, drive off the ramp
completely and make the turn.
A When driving forwards or backwards
onto the truck, or when swinging the
upper body, make sure that neither
the cabin or the gates of the truck will
be damaged.
A When the excavator reaches the point
between the ramps and the truck bed,
halt and then move very slowly until
the excavator reaches the horizontal
position.
A Move the excavator onto the truck
only with the arm completely pulled
in. Otherwise the truck cabin could be
damaged when swinging the upper
body around.
A Do not jack up the machine using its
boom to load or unload the excavator
from the truck. Dangerous situation
could arise.
B Transporting on a Truck

A After loading the machine on the
truck, lower the bucket and dozer
onto the truck bed. Lock the swing
frame with the swing lock pin.
Prepare a platform to load or unload the
excavator. Take following steps when using
ramps.
1. Apply the parking brakes of the truck, and
block the drive wheels from both sides.
2. Use fixing plates to secure the ramp
properly. Connect the ramps directly with the
truck bed.
