HPU300 Hydraulic Power Pack Caterpillar

Before you load the Power Pack onto the trailer, remove ice, snow, or other slippery material from the loading dock and from the truck bed. This will prevent the Power Pack from sliding while the Power Pack is being loaded. This will also keep the Power Pack 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 Power Pack or when you unload the Power Pack.

1. Before you load the Power Pack, chock the trailer wheels or the rail car wheels.

2. When you use loading ramps, make sure that the loading ramps have adequate length, adequate width, adequate strength, and an adequate slope.

3. Maintain the slope of the loading ramps within 15 degrees of the ground.

4. 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.

5. When you drive over the loading ramp joint areas, maintain the balance point of the machine.

6. Lower the Power Pack to the bed or to the floor of the transport machine.

Refer to Operation and Maintenance, "Specifications" for shipping specifications.
