Safety manual
Concrete delivery and placing machines
2.4.5 Driving
When preparing the machine for driving, you must perform the
following tasks in particular:
– The placing boom must be folded in fully and positioned on the
placing boom support provided.
– The support legs and support feet must be fully retracted and
secured.
– Raised or locked axles must be lowered and released.
– Accessories belonging to the machine must be safely stowed
away and secured.
– The maximum permissible gross weight may not be exceeded.
While the vehicle is being driven, the delivery line, pump and hopper
must be empty. If there are concrete leavings in the hopper, it
must not be possible for the leavings to be thrown out while the vehicle
is in motion, thereby creating a risk of injury. You must adapt
your driving style to the altered centre of gravity of the machine.
You must not exceed the maximum permissible gross weight of the
machine. Observe the road traffic regulations and specifications of
the machine manufacturer.
Maintain a clearance of at least 1 m from the secured edges of
construction pits and at least 2 m from slopes.

Always make sure that there is sufficient clearance when driving
under underpasses, over bridges and through tunnels or when passing
under overhead cables. The same minimum clearances apply
when driving under high–voltage lines as when working with the
placing boom. Be aware of the height of the truck. Only drive over
arches, bridges or other supporting structures if the loadbearing
capacity is adequate.
