SAFETY MEASURES DURING OPERATION
3-20
TRANSPORT
LOADING AND UNLOADING THE MACHINE
Loading and unloading is potentially dangerous. For this
reason, proceed with extreme care.
• Load and unload the machine only on solid and level
ground. Keep a safety distance to the edge of the road.
• Block the wheels of the transport vehicle (1) and place sup-
port blocks (2) under both ramps before driving the machine
onto the transport vehicle.
• Only use ramps (3) with appropriate carrying capacities and
widths. The ramps must be long enough to ensure that the
maximum loading gradient (4) of 15% is not exceeded.
• Ensure that the ramps are positioned and fastened safely
and that both sides have the same height. Set the distance
between the ramps to the distance between the wheel tracks
(5).
• Ensure that the surfaces of the ramps are clean and free of
grease, oil, ice, and loose material. Remove any dirt adher-
ingtothewheels.
• When loading and unloading the machine, keep the engine
speed low and drive slowly.
• Do not carry out steering movements on the ramps. If re-
quired, drive off the ramps again, correct alignment of the
machine, and drive up again.
• After loading, i.e. when the machine is on the transport vehi-
cle, apply the parking brake.
• Block the wheels of the machine with wheel chocks.
• Set the steering wheel of the machine to straight driving.
• Secure the articulated steering with the locking bar.
Always secure the locking bar with the bolt and the spring
bolt in both positions.
• Secure the machine on the transport vehicle by means of
appropriate fastening equipment. Only use the attachment
points on the machine for lifting and securing. For safety rea-
sons, do not use any other points for fastening (e.g. axle,
cardan shaft, articulated steering, bucket teeth, or strapping
around the cab).
