TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE ON OTHER VEHICLES
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/from 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 motor vehicle, are parallel to
each other and perpendicular 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 direction.
1 - The machine must get on the ramps with the front bucket (1) directed forward and raised from the ground.
2 - Once the machine has been loaded, rest the front bucket on the floor, set the machine in neutral, apply the
parking brake and insert the locking pin of the bucket control lever.
3 - Lower the backhoe bucket (2) onto the vehicle, lower the stabilizers (3) and connect the safety lock lever of the
backhoe control levers.
IMPORTANT
☞
•
If the machine is equipped with backhoe servo controls, always engage the control locking safety de-
vice by pressing the relevant switch, see “3.3.5.2 MACHINE CONTROLS (Version with servo controls)”
pos. 26.
4 - Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
5 - Keep the machine in position also by putting wedges (4) before and behind each wheel.
