Use transport vehicles only if they are in proper functioning condition and are licensed for road travel.
If loading the vehicle using loading ramps:
• Never exceed a drive pitch of 15°.
• The width of the ramps must be no less than 1 to 2­times the width of the wheels.
• Clean the ramps and vehicle wheels of dirt, mud, ice and snow.
• Always take into account the variance in wheel track width between the front and rear wheels.
• Anchor the drive­up ramps on the transport vehicle to prevent them from slipping.
• To ensure safety, provide additional support in the middle of the ramps.
• When loading, engage the parking break on the transport vehicle and put blocks under the wheels.
After loading
• Lower the machine and the excavator arm onto the bed of the transport vehicle. Shut off the engine.
Locking the hydraulics.
• The hydraulic brake valves on the drive are activated when the drive and control lever are activated.
Lock the cab and remove the ignition key.
• After loading the excavator, place blocks under its wheels and secure (lash) the blocks onto the bed
of the transport vehicle so that they cannot slip, tip or otherwise move from their positions.
• The machine can be lashed down only at suitable points. Watch for hydraulic lines and moveable
protective panelling.
