2. Place additional loads only in the spaces provided (if available) and secure carefully.
Additional precautions for a very dirty machine:
The machine can become very dirty after prolonged use on a construction site. A machine in such
condition is not suitable for towing on public roads.
1. Clean the machine, in particular around the chassis and the lighting and signalling equipment.
2. Check the function of wheels, brakes, lights and signalling equipment.
If defects are found: Correct any defects before towing.
Additional precautions for conditions of snow and ice:
Considerable snow or ice may build up on the machine under low temperature conditions.

Accident hazard due to snow or ice falling off the machine.
Snow or ice falling from the towed machine can endanger following vehicles.
Problems with driving dynamics and damage to the machine could occur.
The maximum permissible axle load could be exceeded.
➤ Do not transport the machine if it is covered by snow or ice.
2. Remove any snow or ice before towing.
Perform the following tasks prior to transporting the machine:
1. Make sure the towing hitch is compatible with the ball or eye coupling on the towed machine.
2. Check that the machine is shut down and secured against accidental restarting.

4. Make sure there are no unsecured tools lying on or in the machine.
5. Close and lock the access doors.
