T T ravelling on public roads
As a machine operator you are considered to be a road-user and
therefore you are obliged to know and follow local regulations and
national traffic regulations.
It is important to bear in mind that the machine, in comparison
with the rest of the traffic, is a slow moving and wide vehicle, which
may cause obstruction. Bear this in mind and pay attention to the
traffic behind you. Facilitate overtaking.
The use of a SMV-plate (Slow Moving Vehicle plate) is regulated
in law in some countries. Check your national traffic regulations.

mus s t be e prep p ar r ed as s fo o l l l l o o w w s s :
Clean the machine from mud and stones to avoid pollution on
the road and damage on other vehicles.
Put the mode selector in T-mode.
Align the superstructure with the undercarriage. When the
superstructure is aligned, the control lamp lights with a fixed
light.
Put the mode selector in W- or C-mode.
Raise the stabiliser blade, if installed, until the cover on top is
horizontal.
Raise the stabiliser legs fully.
Empty the bucket and lay it in travelling position.
For EW160E (optional): Watch the decal (A) and move the arm
out until the arrowhead is aligned with the underside of the
second boom (B).
If a trailer is attached to the machine during operation on public
roads it must not be lifted.
Put the mode selector back to T-mode and check that the
superstructure is still aligned and all hydraulics are locked.
Close the windscreen(s).
Switch off the working lights.
Wear seat belt at all times during machine operation.
NOT T E E ! !
Travelling on public roads is only allowed in T-mode (travel
mode).
Always operate the machine in its natural direction of travel, i.e.
the steered wheels at the front.
Use lights, hazard flashers and rotating warning beacon
according to national traffic regulations.
Keep an eye on persons in the proximity of the machine. Ask
someone to indicate to you how to move the machine if you are
not sure how to do this without risk.
Never exceed the maximum permitted load for bridges.
Keep a tab on the permitted axle loads. Bear in mind that the
axle loads of the machine may change depending on the
attachment.
Follow the traffic regulations that apply to the machine.
