2.5 Transport and loading
You are advised to check the dimensional limits established for means of transport if the machine must
be transported to its specific work site (see sect. 1.6-Performance).
The machine can be loaded onto the vehicle in two different ways:
1) Using chutes and the platform driving controls : after having fully LOWERED the platform, the
operator can handle the machine by following the instructions in SECT. 4.3-STARTING and drive
the machine straight onto the vehicle. In this case, make sure that the ramp gradient is within the
gradeability indicated in the PERFORMANCE data and that the bearing capacity of the chutes suits
the weight of the machine.
2) Removing the push-button from the base and driving the platform to the ground: with the
platform in transport position, the operator can handle the machine directly from the ground by
means of the remote push-button and by following the instructions in SECT. 4.3-GROUND
CONTROL USING THE REMOTE PUSH-BUTTON (see photo below).
3) Lifting the platform using a CE certified beam (not included) that should have a vertical distance
of 350 mm between the hook and chain and, using hooks and steel ropes hooked to the holes marked
with signs (see photo below). The ropes must have safety factor equal to 5.
