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 di-
rection.
1 - The machine must get on the ramps with the bucket (1) direct-
ed forward and raised from the ground.
2 - Once the machine has been loaded, rotate the upper structure
by 180° and engage the antirotation lock, lower the blade (2)
and the work equipment to the ground and shift the safety de-
vice lever to the lock position.
3 - Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
4 - Keep the machine in position by putting wedges (3) before and
behind the tracks.
5 - Fix the machine with tie-downs or chains (4) in the anchorage
points (6).
6 - Protect the end of the exhaust pipe (5).
