3.4 TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
When transporting the machine, observe all the laws and regulations in force, paying special attention to safety.
3.4.1 TRANSPORT PROCEDURE
As a general rule, the machine must be transported on a trailer.

Choose the trailer according to the weight and size of the machine, as indicated in paragraph "5.1 TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS"It is important to remember that the weight and transport size indicated in the technical data
may vary according to the type of track, to the type of boom or to the other attachments installed on the machine.
3.4.2 LOADING AND UNLOADING THE
MACHINE
WARNING
q
During loading and unloading operations, make sure that
the travel speed increase warning light (1) is off and always
travel at low speed.
q
During loading and unloading operations, let the engine
idle, reduce speed and operate the machine slowly.
q
The machine must be loaded and unloaded on/from the
trailer on firm and level ground. Keep a safety distance
from the edge of the road.
q
Use sufficiently wide, long, thick and strong ramps, and po-
sition them with a maximum inclination of 15°C. When us-
ing piled soil, compact it to prevent the inclined surface
from collapsing.
q
Before loading the machine, remove any trace of mud and
dirt from the tracks, in such a way as to prevent the ma-
chine from slipping when it is on the ramps. Make sure that
the surface of the ramps is clean and that there are no trac-
es of water, snow, ice, grease or oil.
q
Do not change direction when the machine is already on
the ramps, since it may overturn. If necessary, move the
machine down the ramps, find the correct direction and go
up again.
q
It is dangerous to use the work equipment for the loading
and unloading operations, therefore avoid this type of ma-
noeuvre.
q
When the machine is on the ramps do not operate any lever
apart from the travel levers.
q
When the machine goes up the ramps and when it passes
from the ramps to the trailer, its centre of gravity changes
suddenly and it may lose stability. Therefore, proceed slow-
ly.
q
If the turret swing is operated when the machine is on the trailer, this becomes unstable, therefore it is
advisable to fold the work equipment and to swing the turret slowly.
q
Widen the track gauge before the loading and unloading operations.
q
On machines with cab, make always sure that the sliding door is locked, no matter whether it is open or
closed. If the door is opened or closed on the ramps or on the flatbed, the operating effort may change
suddenly. Do not open or close the door on the ramps or on the flatbed.
