Recovery, loading and transport
Safety rules for transport
Check whether the transport vehicle is designed for carrying the machine. Only transport the machine on a
transport vehicle with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Engage the hand brake on the transport vehicle and secure the front and rear wheels using chocks to prevent
the vehicle from rolling away.
Make sure the ramps to be used have sufficient load-bearing capacity to carry the operating weight of the
machine.
Only use ramps with sufficient load-bearing capacity. They must be wider than the machine’s chains and have
footboards on the sides.
Position the ramps on the transport vehicle so that the centre line of the transport vehicle is aligned with the
centre line of the machine to be loaded.
Securely fasten the ramps to prevent them from sliding.
In order to prevent the transport vehicle from tilting when driving the machine onto it, brace the rear of the
transport vehicle with adequately dimensioned supports.
Before driving the machine onto the transport vehicle, clean the loading area and chains of the machine in
order to ensure as much friction as possible between the chains and the loading area.
Assign a guide for driving the machine up and down the ramp. The guide is responsible for ensuring safe load-
ing.
Only move the machine when instructed to do so by the guide. The operator and guide must maintain constant
eye contact. If the operator cannot see the guide, stop the machine immediately.
Secure the machine on the transport surface to prevent it from sliding, e.g. using anti-slip materials, wooden
beams, wedges or wooden structures. This auxiliary equipment must be secured to prevent it from coming
loose and becoming lost, e.g. by using tacks on a wooden transport surface.
In order to ensure the machine’s stability during transport, lash down the machine appropriately using the de-
termined preload force on the transport vehicle.
Only use approved and labelled lashing material, such as lashing straps or sling chains that are suited for the
machine’s weight.
The driver of the transport vehicle is responsible for securely fastening the machine onto the vehicle.
When transporting the machine, always maintain a distance of 1.0 m from overhead power lines. The permit-
ted dimensions for the transport vehicle including the loaded machine must be observed in accordance with
the applicable traffic rules and regulations.
Risk of accidents due to defective load safety device!
The following safety rules must be observed.
Risk of accidents due to unapproved use of the machine!
Driving the machine onto the transport vehicle without using ramps and with the help of the boom is
prohibited!
