¾
Travel characteristics, steering and braking
ability are influenced by attached or hitched
up equipment and ballasting weights. You
should therefore pay attention to sufficient
steering and braking ability!
¾
Before road travels check the correct connec-
tion of the supply lines:
•
the brake and hydraulic system for apparent
faults
•
whether the parking brake is fully released
•
function of the service brake
For road transport the machine must be set to
transport position. The folding boom must be
folded up and secured. The stroke of the paral-
lelogram and optional steering must always be
blocked via the shut-off valve before road travel,
see chapter shut-off valve .
¾
Check lighting, warning and protective features
for functioning and cleanliness.
The permissible maximum speed speci-
fied in the type approval must be com-
plied with for transport on public roads!
The specifications in the type approval
document or in the technical data are
decisive for the design dependent top
speed.
Always match the travel mode to the
road conditions to avoid accidents and
damage to the undercarriage.
Consider your personal abilities, carriage
way, traffic, sight and weather conditions.
In addition, pay attention to the notes in
chapter Commissioning !
