3.1 TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
CAUTION
If the machine, hitched to the tractor, must circulate on the public roads, comply with the Highway Code regulations in
force in the country in which the machine itself is used.
The machine must be raised at least 40 cm from the ground for road transport.
If the machine must be transported over a long distance, it can be loaded on a truck or railway car. In this case, consult «

» for the weight and dimensions. This will allow you to make sure that the machine can pass through tunnels
or low constructions without
ƥ Ǥ
To lift the machine from the ground to the loading platform, use a crane with an adequate
carrying capacity and hook up the machine from the relative lifting points indicated on the machine.
Loading with a crane:
make sure that the carrying capacity of the crane is
Ƥ
to lift the weight of the machine. The connecting
points for lifting are clearly visible and are marked by stickers. Lift the machine with the utmost care and move it slowly without
jolting on to the truck or railway car.
DANGER
The lifting and transporting operations can be very dangerous unless they are carried out with the greatest care: have
all persons not directly involved in the lifting operations move well clear of the lifting area. Clear and delimit the zone to

hanging loads and always keep at a safety distance from them. When transported, the loads must not be lifted more than
20 centimeters from the ground. Also make sure that the zone in which the operations take place is uncluttered and that
