10. Transporting the machine

Please note:

when transporting the machine you must wear the appropriate

work clothing and personal protective equipment.

Please note:

during transport, keep bystanders and animals at a safe distance

of 10 m (30ft).

I. Actions to take before loading

For your information:

Also read '§ 9.6.1. Driving the machine on page 49';

this chapter contains useful instructions for safely operating the machine.

Warning:

Loading and unloading the overseeder requires caution and concen-

tration.

• When pushing the machine onto the ramps, keep it in a straight line and avoid steering cor-

rections.

Please note:

Never activate the blades during transport!

II. Loading the machine onto the trailer

• Only adults are permitted to move or transport the machine.
• Carefully choose a clear and free transport path, preferably one with as few obstructions as

possible. The transport route should preferably be flat, with an even surface.

• Use two non-slip loading ramps of 30 cm (12”) when loading the machine into a van or onto a

trailer. Ensure that the ramps are properly fastened to the vehicle or trailer. Under no circum-
stances should the upwards slope exceed 25°.
