Preparing for Travel
General
When you travel on the road or on site there are usually local rules and safety regulations for the machine
travel position.
This publication contains recommendations that may help you meet the requirements of these regulations, they
are not necessarily the applied law.
Make sure that before you travel on the road or on site, you and your machine comply with all the relevant
local laws - it is your responsibility.

Beacon
In certain territories you will be breaking the law if you do not install a beacon before you travel on site/public
highways - make sure you are complying with local laws.
Be careful when you operate the machine with a beacon. The total height of the machine is increased when
the beacon is in the operating position.
