OVERALL DIMENSIONS
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
LOADING WITH RAMPS AND TRANSPORT BY TRUCK
The machine loading and unloading operations must be carried out on a compact and level
surface.
Check that the transport vehicle is in perfect condition. Apply the hand brake and insert safety wedges
at the front and rear of the rear axle tyres.
The vehicle engine must be off and the key removed from the ignition. The body must be level.
Position the machine at the rear of the truck, ensuring that the longitudinal axle coincides with that of
the truck.
Check that the ramps are suitable for the vehicle to be loaded. Only use homologated and/or
certified ramps.
Check that the ramps are perfectly clean and free of grease and that there is no risk whatsoever of
the tyres.
Check that the ramps are long enough to avoid problems during ascent and descent of the machine.
The length of the ramps must be such that their inclination with respect to the height of the truck
loading platform is between 15º and 16º.
