You may either lift or drive the machine onto an appropriate transport vehicle via loading ramp (also refer to "10. Safety Measures dur- ing Operation"). Before transporting machine, check the following: roads and bridges are wide enough, clearance heights on tunnels etc. are adequate and carrying capacities of roads and bridges are sufficient. 8.1 SECURING THE ARTICULATED STEERING Secure the articulated steering before you lift up the machine or start to perform repair measures. 1 - Set the machine to straight driving.

Danger of pinching! An unlocked articulated steering may suddenly move! Secure the articulated steering before you lift up the machine. Danger of accidents! Carrying wire ropes with insufficient carrying capacities may tear so that the ma- chine may fall down! Only lift up the machine using carrying wire ropes with sufficient carrying capacities.
Hoisting equipment with insufficient carrying capacities may suddenly bend and cause severe acci- dents! Only use hoisting equipment capable of carrying the machine's operating weight. Objects lying on the machine may fall down and cause injuries when the machine is lifted up! Remove all loose objects from the machine before you lift up the machine. Incorrectly attached wire ropes may damage the machine! Only fasten the eye hooks of the carrying wire ropes at the marked attachment points. There are two attachment points each at the front part and the rear part of the machine. These attachment points are shown in the following figure. 12
