➤ Do not make any changes to the machine that will increase its weight beyond the permissible
limit and/or endanger its safe use or transportation. Any such changes invalidate the approval
to use the machine or tow it on the road.
➤ Prior to any technical modification and expansions of the machine, obtain the written approval
of the manufacturer.
3.5.2 Safe machine operation
The following is information supporting you in the safe handling of the machine during individual
product life phases.
Personal protective equipment
When working on the machine you may be exposed to dangers that can result in accidents with
severe adverse health effects.
➤ Wear protective clothing as necessary.
Suitable protective clothing (examples):
■ Safety work wear
■ Protective gloves
■ Safety boots
■ Eye protection
■ Ear protection
3.5.2.1 Transport
The weight and size of the machine require safety measures during its transport to prevent acci‐
dents.
➤ 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 a 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 such a way as to impose excessive stress on the machine or chassis.
➤ Adjust towing speed to accommodate ground and weather conditions. This applies particularly
to unpaved roads and when taking 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 re‐
leased.
Transport as trailer on public roads
➤ Do not tow machines without service brake on public roads.
