3.4
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
Strictly heed the local regulations when transporting the machine on public roads.
Use a truck or trailer suitable for transporting the machine.
Always unload and load the machine on a solid and flat surface.
Remember to use a ramp or a loading platform to load/unload the machine.
Never select the quick speed control during these operations.
Avoid steering when driving up or down a ramp, as this is extremely dangerous. If
steering is unavoidable, first return to the ground or the loading platform, then
change direction and start driving again.
Never operate any levers other than the gear levers when driving up or down a
ramp to avoid the risk of the machine losing balance.
At the top end of the ramp when reaching the bed of the vehicle there is a change in
slope.
Take care when driving over this section.
Secure the chains or cables to the chassis of the machine.
Read the chapter on transport.
3.5
PARKING THE MACHINE SAFELY
Park the machine on a wide and level area, where the ground is firm, with the forks
completely lowered.
If this is not possible and you need to park on a slope, place chocks under the
tracks.
3.6
EMERGENCIES
React promptly if a fire breaks out.
Before starting work, find out where the first aid kit and the extinguishers are kept
in the working area, so as to be able to react promptly in the event of fire or acci‐
dents.
Keep the emergency telephone numbers for doctors, ambulance, hospital and fire
brigade near your telephone.
3.7
PROTECTIVE GARMENTS
Wear tight‐fitting clothes and use safety equipment suitable for the job at hand.
3.8
PROTECTION AGAINST NOISE
Extended exposure to noise may cause injuries or loss of hearing.
Use suitable equipment, such as earplugs or earmuffs, to protect yourself against
unbearable or deafening noise.
