3.9 TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE ON MOTOR VEHICLES

3.9.1 LOADING AND UNLOADING THE MACHINE

DANGER
The loading and unloading of the machine on/from the means of transport must be carried out on a flat
surface and at a safety distance from the edges of ditches or from the road side.
Block the means of transport by positioning wedges before and behind each wheel.
Make sure that the ramps are sufficiently strong; if necessary, reinforce them with blocks, in order to
prevent any dangerous bending.
Make sure that the ramps have the same length, are firmly anchored to the motor vehicle, are parallel to
each other and perpendicular to the loading board; the distance between the ramps must be suitable
for the machine gauge.
Position the ramps with a maximum inclination of 15°.
Remove any trace of oil, grease or ice from the ramps and the loading board.
Do not change direction when the machine is already on the ramps; if necessary, go down and find the
correct direction.
1 - The machine must get on the ramps with the bucket (1) di-
rected forward and raised from the ground.
2 - Once the machine has been loaded, rotate the upper struc-
ture by 180° and engage the antirotation lock, lower the blade
(2) and the work equipment to the ground and shift the safety
device lever to the lock position.
3 - Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
4 - Keep the machine in position also by putting wedges (3) be-
fore and behind the tracks.
5 - Fix the machine with tie-downs or chains (4) in the anchorage
points (6).
6 - Protect the end of the exhaust pipe (5).
