1 Safety regulations for transportation
m
Accidents can happen when the paver finisher and the screed are not properly pre-
pared for transportation or when transportation is carried out improperly!
Reduce both the paver finisher and the screed to their basic widths. Remove all pro-
truding parts (such as the automatic levelling system, auger limit switches, side
shields, etc.).
Close the hopper lids and engage the hopper transport safeguards. Lift the screed
and engage the screed transport safeguards.
Pack all parts that are not permanently fixed to the paver finisher and the screed into
the appropriate boxes and into the hopper.
Close all coverings and check that they are securely seated.
In Germany, gas bottles must not be transported on the paver finisher or on
the screed.
Disconnect the gas bottles from the gas system and protect them with their caps. Use
a separate vehicle to transport them.
When loading via ramps, there is a risk that the machine will slip, tilt or overturn.
Drive carefully! Keep people away from the danger area!
Additional stipulations for transportation on public roads:
m
In Germany; caterpillar paver finishers must not be driven as self-propelling vehi-
cles on public roads.
Note that in other countries different regulations may apply.
The operator must be in the possession of a valid permit for vehicles of this type.
The driving lights must be properly adjusted.
Only attachments and extension parts may be transported in the hopper, no material
or gas bottles!
If necessary, the operator must be assisted by a second person when driving on pub-
lic roads – especially at road crossings and junctions.
