10 Transporting the machine
• Make sure to clear the shredding chamber before moving the machine. Make sure the infeed
opening is free of branchy material.
• Use slip resistant ramps to load the machine into a van or a trailer. Every ramp should be at
least 400 mm wide. The load-bearing capacity must be able to cope with a weight of 750 kg.
• Ensure that there is a suffi ciently large braking distance area behind the ramps (10 m).
• Ensure that the ramps are securely attached to the vehicle or trailer.
• Ensure the parking brake of the vehicle is on.
• Under no circumstances must the angle of the up or down ramp be greater than 15 %.
• The maximum allowable lateral slope angle amounts to 5 %.
• Be careful and composed when loading and unloading the shredder so that the machine does
not tip (450 kg) over and give rise to an accident.
• When walking down a slope, move down backwards facing the machine. Take care when descending
because the machine may suddenly gather speed because of its own mass. Ensure that there is a
suffi ciently large braking distance area behind the ramps (10 m).
• Make sure to properly secure the machine to the vehicle during transportation. Only use fi xed
chassis parts to
secure rope.
• There are 4 at-
tachment points
on the machine to
which rope and at-
tachment systems
can be secured.
Caution:
Do not forget that the machine has a high centre of gravity. Therefore use
ropes to secure both sides of the machine to the vehicle. This ensures that
the machine is not toppled over when the vehicle goes around a bend.
• Do not overload the vehicle or means of transport. The machine weighs 450 kg.
