TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE ON OTHER VEHICLES

3.9 TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE ON OTHER VEHICLES
3.9.1 LOADING AND UNLOADING THE
MACHINE
The loading and unloading of the machine on-off the means of transport must be carried out on a flat
q
surface and at a safety distance from the edges of ditches or from the roadside.
Block the means of transport by positioning wedges before and behind each wheel.
q
Make sure that the ramps are sufficiently strong; if necessary, reinforce them with blocks, in order to
q
prevent any dangerous bending.
Make sure that the ramps have the same length, are firmly anchored to the vehicle, are parallel to each
q
other and perpendicular to the loading board; the distance between the ramps must be suitable for the
wheel gauge of the machine.
Position the ramps with a maximum inclination of 15°.
q
Remove any trace of oil, grease or ice from the ramps and the loading board.
q
Do not change direction when the machine is already on the ramps; if necessary, go down and find the
q
correct direction.
1 - The machine must get on the ramps with the front bucket (1) directed forward and lifted from the ground.
2 - After loading the machine on the truck, lower the front bucket to the ground, shift the gears into NEUTRAL and
apply the parking brake.
3 - Lower the backhoe bucket (2) onto the vehicle, lower the stabilizers (3), lock the loader control and the
backhoe control levers.
IMPORTANT
On machines equipped with backhoe servo controls, the movements of the levers are inhibited by the
q
front loader locking button (see "3.3.2 pos. 12 - SERVO CONTROL LOCKING BUTTON").
4 - Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
Max. 15°
5 - Secure the machine in the correct position by putting wedges (4) before and behind each wheel.
