Tow the earth moving machine only with a towing facility of sufficient size.
Use the towing points, such as eyelets, hooks, etc., prescribed by the manufacturer.
Start machine travel slowly when towing. All persons must stay clear of the towing
facility.
When loading and transporting the earth moving machine, secure the machine itself
and the auxiliary means against unintentional movements.
Remove mud, snow and ice from the running gear and the undercarriage of the earth mov-
ing machine in order to ensure safe driving on ramps with no slipping hazard.
Place wooden boards on the access ramps of flat-bed trailers before driving on
them with tracked machines.
Inspect the planned route before starting machine travel, to ensure that the roads
are sufficiently wide, that bridges and clearances are of sufficient size and that the
roads, paths and bridges have sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Adhere to the prescribed intervals for routine checks.
Before every work shift, the operator must also check the function of the safety,
drive and work equipment, such as the safe load indicator, brakes, steering system
and lights in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
When installing work equipment onto the quickhitch, ensure that the work equipment is
firmly hitched by moving it in all positions. In doing so, all persons must stay clear of the
danger zone.
Replace hydraulic hosees as soon as the following damage is detected:
• Damage on the outside layer up to the inner ply
• Embrittlement on the outside layer
• Deformations in pressurized or unpressurized state which do not correspond to the
original shape of the installed hose
• Leaks
• Damage on the hose fittings or on the connection between the fitting and the hose
• Damage due to storage (storage time of a hose must be under 2 years)
• Damage due to use beyond the service life (service life is no longer than 6 years if used
under normal load).
Check the coolant level only after the filler cap has cooled down. Open the cap
carefully to release overpressure.
The operator must immediately report damage to the person supervising the activi-
ties. If operators change, he must also report to the next operator.
In case of malfunctions affecting the operational safety of the earth moving machine,
put the machine out of operation until the malfunctions have been repaired.
