10. Transporting the machine
• Only adults are permitted to move or transport the machine.
• The shredding chamber and the chipping chamber must be empty before transporting the
machine. The feed opening should not contain any branches.
• During transport children, unauthorised people or animals must not be allowed within a 3 m
radius of the machine.
• Prior to moving the machine, no matter at what distance, the contents of the chipping
chamber shall be gone. The feed opening should not contain any branches.
• The engine must be off before transporting the machine.
• If the machine topples over for some reason, set it upright as quickly as possible. It prevents oil
from the crankcase entering the air filter.
• Use non-slip planks for loading the machine into a van or onto a trailer. Ensure that the planks
are properly fastened to the vehicle or trailer.
• Under no circumstances should the upwards slope exceed 25°.
•
Never drive or place the machine on any surface that cannot support the weight of the machine
plus one’s own body weight. (For your information: the machine weighs approximately 136 kg.)
•
When ascending a slope, the blade axis must be placed at the front.
• When descending a slope, the blade axis must be placed at the back.
• Never use the machine for transporting objects or people.
• Carefully choose a clear and free transport path, preferably one with as few obstructions as
possible.
• The transport route is preferably flat, with an even surface.
• Ensure that there is a sufficiently large run-out zone behind the ramps (4 m).
• Ensure that the parking brake of the vehicle is on.
• Be careful and composed when loading and unloading the chipper so that the machine does
not tip over and can cause an accident.
• The maximum allowable lateral slope angle is 10°.
