•
Loading and unloading the machine on/from a motor vehicle
always involves potential hazards. Proceed with extreme care.
•
Perform loading and unloading on firm, level ground. Maintain
a safety distance from the edges of ditches or from road sides.
•
If the vehicles used have not been appositely equipped, put
support blocks under the ramps, in order to avoid any bending.
•
Always lock the wheels of the transporting vehicle with wedg-
es.
•
Always use ramps that are sufficiently wide and can support
the weight of the machine. The longitudinal axes of the ramps
must be parallel to each other and perpendicular to the loading
side board and their distance must be suitable for the tread of
the machine.
•
Make sure that the ramps are securely positioned and fas-
tened to the loading board and that they have the same length.
•
Position the ramps with a maximum inclination of 15°.
•
Make sure that the ramp surface is clean and there is no trace
of grease, oil, soil and ice; remove dirt from the tracks before
starting to load the machine on the vehicle.
•
The machine must be loaded on the vehicle with the bucket di-
rected forwards, that is, in the direction of advancement of the
vehicle.
•
Do not correct the trajectory of the machine on the ramps. If
necessary, get down the ramps and start the operation again.
•
After loading the machine, block the tracks with wedges and
secure it with tie-downs or chains that prevent even any side-
ward shift (see “3.9 TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE ON MO-
TOR VEHICLES”).
•
Define the route to be followed, taking in consideration the width, height and weight of the transport means and
of the machine.
Make sure that the dimensions of the machine are compatible with the road and any gallery, subway, bridge,
electric and telephone lines, etc.
•
Keep to the regulations in force regarding the permissible width, height, weight of the machine and the trans-
port speed.
