excavators on public roads.
2. Use adequately long and robust ramps when loading
on the machine. (for details see "TRANSPORTING

tipping over, do not try to swing the attachment
crosswise to the loading ramps.

the pressure from the hydraulic system.
After loading the excavator on the truck, block the
tracks with blocks and tie down the excavator at the
