2.4.2 RULES FOR ROAD TRAVEL
•
Before getting on the machine, walk around it and check for people and objects that might be in the way.
•
Do not start the engine if warning plates have been attached to the steering wheel or the control levers.
•
When starting the engine, sound the horn as an alert signal.
•
Start the engine and operate the machine only while seated with fastened safety belt.
•
Do not allow anyone to get on the machine or enter the cab.
•
The machine is equipped with multifunction safety locks that must be used both for maintenance operations
and road travel.
•
When it is necessary to travel on roads, proceed as follows:
1 - Position the safety lock of the front loader, so that the bucket is raised from the ground, thus ensuring better
visibility and the stability of the machine.
2 - Install the front bucket antirotation lock and secure it with the safety pins.
3 - Install the teeth protection casing on the front bucket.
4 - Raise the backhoe boom until engaging the safety coupling. The arm and bucket must in any case be com-
pletely folded.
5 - The backhoe must be rotated and resting on the structure. This is the only position homologated for road
travel in Italy.
6 - For travelling with folded backhoe, the unit must be moved on its guide in such a way as to be positioned to-
wards the road center, against the lock and with the bucket facing the road side.
7 - Fasten the backhoe with the antirotation pin.
8 - Connect the safety chains to prevent the accidental lowering of the stabilizers.
9 - Engage the loader and backhoe control lever safety locks.
For further information on their position, see “3.1 SAFETY LOCKS”.

If the machine is equipped with backhoe servo controls, before travelling on roads always engage the
control locking safety device by pressing the relevant switch, see “3.3.5.2 MACHINE CONTROLS (Ver-
sion with servo controls)”, pos. 26.

When it is necessary to travel on roads, the four-wheel drive must be disengaged and the brake pedals must be
connected with the appropriate pin.

When travelling on roads, keep to the rule of the road and operate the flashing light positioned on top of the
cab.
•
When travelling on roads, keep the working lights off.
•
When travelling on roads, use only the two-wheel steering moderuote.
