Make sure that no person are close to the steering joint
when the engine is running. There is risk of injuries by
crushing.
Transporting on another vehicle
If the machine is driven up onto another vehicle, the steering
joint must not be locked. Lock the steering joint when the
machine is in position on the transporting vehicle.
The transporting vehicle must be securely braked and the
wheels blocked.
If the machine is lifted, however, the steering joint should be
locked.
Lashing the machine for transportation
Lock the steering joint with the steering joint lock when the
machine is in position on the transporting vehicle.
Apply the parking brake and block the wheels.
Lash the machine through the towing eyes front and rear and
against the platform on the transporting vehicle, so that the
machine cannot slide, tip or begin to roll.
In addition to this, follow national regulations.
Do not forget to unlock the steering joint and secure the
steering joint lock in the bracket intended for this purpose,
before operating the machine again.
IMPORTANT! If the machine is equipped with an FS-system,
the system must always be in the lowered position during all
service and lifting and when transporting the machine.
IMPORTANT! If the machine is equipped with an FS-system,
the lashing must be loosened before the FS-system is
activated. Great risk of machine damage and personal injury.
