3.5.2.1 Transport
In order to prevent accidents, the mass and size of the machine require safety measures to be tak‐
en during its transport.
➤ Allow transport only by personnel trained in safely dealing with motor vehicles and the trans‐
port of goods.
➤ Ensure that no persons are on the machine when transporting.
Transport as trailer
Non-compliance with the basic rules for safe trailer operation may cause severe accidents during
machine transport.
➤ The maximum permissible load for the towing vehicle coupling and the maximum coupling load
given for the machine must not be exceeded.
➤ Avoid causing a shift in the centre of gravity by an excessive or incorrectly distributed load.
➤ Do not tow in a manner that will impose excessive stress on the machine or chassis.
➤ Adjust towing speed to accommodate road conditions. This applies particularly to unpaved
roads and when negotiating curves.
➤ The towbar must be parallel with the ground otherwise towing instability can develop, resulting
in damage to the machine and/or towing vehicle.
➤ Before moving the machine, make sure any security devices (e.g. anti-theft chain) are removed
or turned off.
Transport as trailer on public roads
➤ Do not tow machines without lighting and signalling equipment on public roads.
➤ Ensure all running gear, including chassis, wheels, brakes, signalling and lighting, is in safe
condition.
➤ The local laws and regulations regarding the use of public roads must be observed.
Transporting with a crane
Non-compliance with the safety regulations for lifting accessories and hoisting equipment may
cause severe accidents when lifting and moving the machine with cranes.
➤ Do not enter the danger zone whilst the machine is being lifted.
➤ Never lift and move the machine over people or residential buildings.
➤ Avoid extreme weight shifting caused by additional loads or additions (tilting).
➤ Do not exceed the lifting capacity on the machine's lifting point (lifting eye).
➤ Only the designated lifting point should be used to attach lifting gear and under no circumstan‐
ces are handles, tow-bar or other components to be used.
➤ Use only hooks and shackles that comply with local safety regulations.
➤ Do not attach cables, chains or ropes directly to the machine's lifting eye.
➤ Do not manipulate the crane suspension system, in particular the holding points of the crane
lifting eye.
➤ If screwed crane fixings had to be removed, please use only new self-locking nuts when instal‐
ling.
➤ Avoid jerking when lifting, as this may damage components.
➤ Loads must be slowly lifted and carefully set down.
➤ Never allow the load to hang from the hoist longer than necessary.
