
Provide approved and labelled lashing material, such as lashing straps or sling chains, that are appropriate
for the machine’s weight (page 46).

Place the loading ramps on the transport vehicle at an angle of
10° to 15°. When doing so, take into account the track width of
the machine.

Fasten the ramps to the transport vehicle in such a way that
they do not slide when driving the machine onto it.

Align the machine with the centre of the ramps and drive it
straight onto the loading area until it has reached the parking
space.

Lower the dozer onto the loading area.

Rotate the swivel frame 180° until the front attachments face
the rear of the transport vehicle.

Completely retract the arm and bucket. Lower the boom until
the bucket linkages touch the loading area.
Adhere to the „Safety rules“ chapter (page 13) and the „Safety rules for transport“ section (page 38).
Mortal danger by crushing!
Nobody is allowed in the loading area or in close proximity to that area while operating the machine
on the ramp and in the loading area, e.g. when driving onto the ramp or when rotating the swivel
frame.
- Guides must maintain a safe distance from the machine.
Risk of accidents due to machine falling down!
When changing the direction of travel or when manoeuvring the machine, it can slip and fall off the
ramp or loading area.
- Do not turn or steer when driving up the ramps.
- If the machine cannot be driven safely and in straight line onto the loading area, drive the ma-
chine back down, realign it and drive straight ahead onto the area.
- Only work with a guide.
Caution when rotating the swivel frame!
The front attachments can hit the transport vehicle. This can damage the transport vehicle and the
machine.
- Only work with a guide.
Risk of accidents due to malfunction in transport safety device!
The machine’s lashing points are designed and constructed to secure the machine safely. If fastening
points other than the lashing points described here are used, the transport safety device could mal-
function and the machine could slip or fall from the transport vehicle while being transported.
- Only used the indicated lashing points for the transport safety device.
