RECOVERY, LOADING AND TRANSPORT
Safety rules for recovery
For recovery of the excavator, a towing vehicle of at least the same weight class as the excavator must be
used.
A tow bar must be used for the recovery. If a tow rope is used, an additional vehicle must also be attached to
brake the excavator. The tow bar or tow rope must be suitable for the recovery of the excavator with regard
to the towed load. Do not use damaged recovery aids.
Do not step into the danger zone between the vehicles during the recovery procedure. If a tow rope is used,
keep a distance of at least 1.5 times the length of the rope.
Use the towing eye on the track frame for the recovery.
The above safety rules also apply if the excavator is used as the towing or recovery vehicle.
Observe the admissible values for the towed load and the vertical load during recovery, see "Specifications"
(page 44).
Safety rules while loading with a crane
Crane and lifting gear must be suited for the absorption of the load to be lifted and be approved.
Before using the crane and the lifting gear, make sure that the specified safety inspections have been carried
out regularly and that the crane and lifting gear are in good working order and sound condition.
The machine may only be lifted at the points provided. Lifting the machine at the roll-over safety bar is pro-
hibited as this can cause severe damage.
Never attach a crane hook to the lower edge of the dozer! The crane hook can slip off sideways while lifting
and the excavator may fall off.
Always adhere to the valid safety regulations for the lifting of loads.
The excavator must be secured with a holding rope when it is being lifted.
The crane operator is responsible for the observance of these safety rules.
