Transport Safely - Hitachi ZAXIS 250LC-7 Operator's Manual

Transport Safely

 Take care the machine may turn over when loading or
unloading the machine onto or off of a truck or trailer.
 Observe the related regulations and rules for safe
transportation.
 Select an appropriate truck or trailer for the machine to
be transported.
 Be sure to use a signal person.
 Always follow the following precautions for loading or
unloading:
1) Select solid and level ground.
2) Always use a ramp or deck strong enough to support the
machine weight.
Loading docks must have an incline of less than 15
degrees.
3) Turn the auto-idle switch OFF.
4) Always select the slow speed mode with the travel mode
switch.
5) Never steer the machine while on the ramp. If the
traveling direction must be changed while the ramp,
unload the machine from the ramp, reposition the
machine on the ground, then try loading again.
6) The top end of the ramp where it meets the flatbed is a
sudden bump. Take care when traveling over it.
7) Place blocks in front of and behind the tires. Securely
hold the machine to the truck or trailer deck with wire
ropes.
Be sure to further follow the details described in the
TRANSPORTING section.
