3.9 TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE ON OTHER VEHICLES
3.9.1 LOADING AND UNLOADING THE MACHINE
DANGER
• The loading and unloading of the machine on-off the means of transport must be carried out on a flat
surface and at a safety distance from the edges of ditches or from the road side.
• Block the means of transport by positioning wedges before and behind each wheel.
• Make sure that the ramps are sufficiently strong; if necessary, reinforce them with blocks, in order to
prevent any dangerous bending.
• Make sure that the ramps have the same length, are firmly
anchored to the vehicle, are parallel to each other and per-
pendicular to the loading board; the distance between the
ramps must be suitable for the machine gauge.
• Position the ramps with a maximum inclination of 15°.
• Remove any trace of oil, grease or ice from the ramps and
the loading board.
• Do not change direction when the machine is already on
the ramps; if necessary, go down and find the correct direc-
tion.
1 - Remove the equipment from the boom.
2 - The machine must get on the ramps with the boom directed
forward with respect to the travel direction.
3 - Once the machine has been loaded, apply the parking brake.
4 - Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
5 - Close the rear window and the cab door.
6 - Keep the machine in the correct position by putting wedges
(1) before and behind each wheel.
7- Secure the machine with tie-downs or chains (2) using the
anchorage points (3) and (4) provided at the sides of the
frame and indicated by the pictograms.
