4.4 TRANSPORT

If it becomes necessary to transport the machine for a long distance, it can be loaded onto a railway wagon or a truck.
For this purpose, consult «Technical Data» for weight and speci

c dimensions. The latter are very useful to check the

possibility of driving along all types of roads.
The machine is generally supplied in a horizontal position with no packing material.
It is therefore necessary to use a system of hoisting with a crane and cables, or chains of adequate capacity, hooking onto
the machine at the hoisting points marked with the «hook» symbol (

DANGER

DANGER OF FALLING OF THE MACHINE OR OF PARTS OF THE MACHINE.

POTENTIAL SERIOUS INJURIES OR

DEATH.
Before proceeding to the hoisting operations, make sure that any any mobile elements of the machine are blocked.
Make sure to use a crane with an adequate hoisting capacity to lift the machine. Hoist the machine with extreme
caution and transfer it slowly, without jerks or abrupt movements.

DANGER

DANGER OF FALLING OF THE MACHINE OR OF PARTS OF THE MACHINE.

POTENTIAL SERIOUS INJURIES OR

DEATH.
The operations of hoisting and transport can be very dangerous if not carried out with the maximum caution;
persons not directly involved should be moved away. Clean, evacuate the area and delimit the transfer zone.
Check the state, condition and suit- ability of the means at disposition. Do not touch suspended loads, keeping
them at a safe distance.It most be further ascertained that the operational area is free of obstacles and that there
is suf

cient «escape space», meaning an area which is free and secure into which one could move rapidly in

case a load should fall. The surface on which the machine is to be loaded must be horizontal in order to prevent
possible shifting.

Once the machine is positioned on the vehicle, make sure that it remains blocked in its position. Fasten the machine on
the platform of the vehicle by means of cables suitable for the mass which must be blocked (see «Technical Data» for the
weight).
The cables must be

rmly fastened to the machine and pulled taut to the anchorage point on the platform. Once transport

has been carried out and before freeing the machine from all its fastenings, make sure that its state and position are such as
not to constitute danger. Remove the cables and proceed to unloading with the same means and methods used for loading.

Transit and transporting on the public highways

When driving on the public roads,

t on the rear re

ector triangles, side lights and

ashing beacon and always make sure

that you comply with the Highway Code and any other applicable regulations.

Make sure that the machine dimensions during transfer phases allow for safe transport when travelling in subways, along
narrow roads, near electrical lines, etc..

ATTENTION

LACK OR INADEQUACY OF VISUAL OR ACOUSTIC WARNING DEVICES.
POTENTIAL DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURIES FOR THE OPERATOR AND NEARBY PEOPLE.
Before driving on to the public roads with the machine hitched to the tractor, make sure that the devices listed
above and/or the slow vehicle signal and/or the projecting load signal operate correctly. These indicators must be
af

xed to the rear of the implement in a position where they can be clearly seen by any other vehicle that drives

up behind.

The tractor used for transporting the equipment must have the powers shown in the

Technical Data

table; if necessary,

redistribute the total weights with the addition of ballasts to return balance and stability to the whole assembly.

For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment must be placed in the transportation position:

- Where provided for, make all the moving parts come within the transport width, locking them with the safety devices

(toolbars, row marker arms, row marker discs, etc.).

- Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable signs and guards.

Upon request the Manufacturer will supply supports and tables for signaling of dimensions.
