When towing, the roller shall be braked by the
towing vehicle. Always use a towing bar,
because the machine cannot brake.
The roller must be towed slowly and must not be
moved in a speed higher than 5 km/h and over 984
feet (300 meters).
During the roller towing, its devices shall be connected in both
lifting holes.
The pulling forces shall act to the machine's longitudinal axis,
as illustrated in the figure. Refer to the table below to know the

Transport
Preparing the roller for transport
Apply the parking brake and make sure the machine is in the
neutral position, that is, that the tires are pointing forwards.
Chock (1) the tires in an angle of 37º and at a minimum height
of 9,9 inches (25 cm). They should be chocked both forwards
and backwards.
Chock under the frame (2) to ensure that the chains remain
tensioned if the air goes out of the tires. Block up the machine
according to the figure.
Secure the roller with chains in all four corners. The attachment
points are shown in the safety decals. Put the chains in
symmetrical pairs, crossing each other.
Make sure the chains, supports and attachments of
the transport vehicle are approved and have the
proper tension to perform the fitting and locking.
Check regularly if the chains are not slack.
