CAUTION
Prior to transportation always check the machine for loose or damaged components. Ensure
all loose items are carefully stowed and secured if these are to be transported on the machine.
Check that the travelling dimensions and weight of the machine will be within the regulation limits.
Before transporting the machine, observe the prescribed transport position, admissible speed and
itinerary. Only use appropriate means of transport and lifting gear of adequate capacity. Know
the overall height to avoid contacting overhead obstructions such as bridges, power lines etc.
The preparations to move equipment by an articulated lorry should be supervised by a minimum of
two persons. Ensure persons transporting the machine adhere to all safety signs and procedures.
Before transportation on public roads, ensure the machine has been properly secured with no loose
material left in or on the machine. Always observe the valid traffic regulations and, if necessary,

The machine is remote controlled and may start without notice. Stay clear of the machine. The
machine must be loaded and transported only in accordance with the operating instructions.
For manoeuvring the machine, observe the prescribed transport position, admissible speed and
itinerary. Use only appropriate means of transport and lifting equipment and where applicable
of adequate capacity. The re-commissioning procedure must be strictly in accordance with the
