possible, repair the machine on site.
When the machine must be towed:
• Tow the machine for short distances and at a low speed only.
• Use a rigid drawbar.
• Select the two-wheel steer.
• When possible, start the engine and use the hydraulic drive
and the braking system.

When travelling on public roads, strictly obey the local or national
road traffic regulations, as well as the following general
precautions:
• Set the ROAD/JOBSITE switch to "ROAD".

mode automatically.
• Lock the machine as indicated in the Registration Card:
Lock the boom sections, the lifting cylinder, and the
attachment rotation cylinder (see photo).
• Lock the rear wheel steering using the special pins (if any).
• Cover the teeth of the conventional forks with the special
guard; or withdraw the floating forks.
• Retract boom and attachment to transfer position.
• Make sure that lights, horn and turn signals are in efficient
working order.
• Engage a high speed.

rpm and the position of the control lever.
