3.0 USE INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 TRANSPORT
If it becomes necessary to transport the machine for a long distance, it can be loaded onto a railway wagon or a
truck. For this purpose, consult «Technical Features» for weight and specific dimensions. The latter are very useful
to check the possibility of driving along all types of roads.
The machine is generally supplied in a horizontal position with no packing material. It is therefore necessary to use a
system of hoisting with a crane and cables, or chains of adequate capacity, hooking onto the oachine at the hoisting
points marked with the «hook» symbol (S-12).
CAUTION
Before proceeding to the hoisting operations, make sure that any any mobile elements of the machine
(wheels, 3rd point hitch...) are blocked.
Make sure to use a crane with an adequate hoisting capacity to lift the machine.
Hoist the machine with extreme caution and transfer it slowly, without jerks or abrupt movements.
DANGER
The operations of hoisting and transport can be very dangerous if not carried out with the maximum
caution; persons not directly involved should be moved away. Clean, evacuate the area and delimit the
transfer zone.
Check the state, condition and suitability of the means at disposition.
Do not touch suspended loads, keeping them at a safe distance.
During transport, the loads should not be raised more than 35 cm. from the ground.
It most be further ascertained that the operational area is free of obstacles and that there is sufficient
«escape space», meaning an area which is free and secure into which one could move rapidly in case a
load should fall.
The surface on which the machine is to be loaded must be horizontal in order to prevent possible shifting.
Once the machine is positioned on the vehicle, make sure that it remains blocked in its position.
Fasten the machine on the platform of the vehicle by means of cables suitable for the mass which must be blocked
(see «Technical Features» for the weight).
The cables must be firmly fastened to the machine and pulled tight to the anchorage point on the platform.
Once transport has been carried out and before freeing the machine from all its fastenings, make sure that its state
and position are such as not to constitute danger.
Remove the cables and proceed to unloading with the same means and methods used for loading.
Transit and transporting on the public highways
When driving on the public roads, fit on the rear reflector triangles, side lights and flashing beacon and always make
sure that you comply with the Highway Code and any other applicable regulations.
ATTENTION
Before driving on to the public roads with the machine hitched to the tractor, make sure that the devices
listed above and/or the slow vehicle signal and/or the projecting load signal operate correctly.
These indicators must be affixed to the rear of the implement in a position where they can be clearly seen by
any other vehicle that drives up behind.
