Independent Transport By The User; Environmental Hazards - PRONAR VMP-5ST Manual

SECTION 1
in order to immobilise the machine. If necessary, cover the sharp edges of the mixer feeder in
order to protect the securing straps from breaking during transport.
DANGER
Incorrect use of securing measures may cause an accident.
During reloading work, particular care should be taken not to damage parts of the machine's
equipment or the paint coating. The tare weight of the mixer feeder is given in table (3.1).
ATTENTION
When being road transported on a motor vehicle, the mixer feeder must be secured on
the vehicle's platform in accordance with the transport safety requirements and
regulations.
Driver of the vehicle should be particularly careful during travel. This is due to the
vehicle's centre of gravity shifting upwards when loaded with the machine.
Use only certified and technically reliable securing measures. Carefully read the
information contained in the Operator's Manuals for the given securing measures.

1.5.2 INDEPENDENT TRANSPORT BY THE USER

It is not allowed to transport the mixer feeder by towing it with a tractor on public roads.

1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

A hydraulic or gear oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its
limited biodegradability. The negligible solubility of hydraulic oil in water does not cause
extreme toxicity of organisms living in the aquatic environment. The formation of a film of oil
on the water may be the direct cause of physical action on organism, perhaps causing
change of oxygen values in the water because of lack of direct contact of air with the water.
An oil leak into water reservoirs may however lead to a reduction of the oxygen content.
