WARNING
Hazard to bystanders!

The undercarriage of the RTC version has a structure that allows to retract the side frames. The retraction of the side
frames is intended to reduce the overall track gauge for road transport.
NOTICE: the RTC undercarriage shall be always in extended position for normal field operation. Never operate with
the RTC undercarriage in retracted position. In the retracted position, the overall machine stability is significantly
reduced.
Retraction of side frames
1. Park the machine on a hard and level surface close to
the transport trailer.
2. Remove the 24 fixing bolts (1) from the retaining hard-
ware of the side frame to be retracted.
NOTICE: never remove the bolts (2) of the side frame
guides.
3. Swing the upperframe to the side frame to be re-
tracted. Upperframe and undercarriage shall be at
90° .

4. Position the front equipment as shown in figure. Make
sure that the bottom side of the bucket pushes on a
hard ground.

track from the ground. The side frame slides by gravity
towards the base frame of the undercarriage. The
stoppers on the side frame guides set the retracted
position.
