OADING THE MACHINE ON A TRUCK WITH LOW BED
Always load and unload the machine on a firm and level surface.
Warning: remember to use a ramp or a loading platform to load/unload the
machine.
1. The ramps must be strong enough to support the weight of the machine. Make
sure that the gradient of the ramp is less than 20°.
2. The ramps must be wide and strong enough and must have a suitable slope for
the machine to drive on.
3. Before loading the machine, fully clean the ramp and the platform. Ramps or
platforms that are dirty with oil, mud or ice are slippery and dangerous.
W
: during colder periods let the machine warm up before loading/unloa‐

TTENTION
1. Avoid steering when driving up or down a ramp, as this is extremely dange‐
rous. If steering is unavoidable, first return to the ground or the low loading
platform, then change direction and start driving again.
2. Do not operate any lever other than the gear levers when driving up or down
a ramp to prevent the machine from losing balance.
3. At the top end of the ramp, when the forklift reaches the bed of the truck, the
gradient changes. Take care when driving over this section.
4. Drive the machine slowly on the ramp.
