Transport
Depending on country specific regulations and
working width the equipment can be transported
on public roads, either attached to a tractor or
on a trailer or low loader.
¾
The permissible dimensions and weights for
transport must be complied with.
¾
The tractor must be big enough, so that
sufficient steering and braking abilities are
assured.
¾
If the machine is hitched up in two-point mode,
the tractor link arms must be blocked against
swinging sideways.
¾
For road transport the piston rods must be
filled up with spacers and the machine must
be lowered on these spacers.
¾
On a trailer or low loader the machine must
be secured with tensioning straps or other
means.
¾

marked points.
Transport / installation
Higher danger of accident during initial instal-
lation. Please pay attention to the notes in the
corresponding chapters.
Delivery
The machine with implements is normally de-
livered completely assembled on a low loader.
If parts or modules had to be disassembled for
transportation purposes, these will be assem-
bled by our distributor or field engineer in situ.
Depending on the design of the low loader the
machine can be unloaded with a tractor, or
needs to lifted off with suitable lifting gear (forklift
truck or crane).
Sufficient load bearing capacity of lifting gear
and lifting tackle must therefore be assured.
Lifting and lashing points are identified by labels.
When using other lifting points pay careful at-
tention to the centre of gravity and the weight
distribution. These points must, in any case, only
be on the frame of the machine.
Installation
Instruction of the operator and initial installation
of the machine will be carried out by our service
engineers or distributors.
Any anticipating use of the machine is
prohibited!
The machine can only be released for opera-
tion after the instruction session conducted by
our service engineer / distributor and after the
operating instructions have been read.
