LOADING AND TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE 8.4 SECURING THE MACHINE DURING TRANSPORT If the machine is insufficiently secured, it may start to skid or fall off the transport vehicle and cause severe accidents! Always secure the machine with ropes and wheel chocks or wedges to avoid falling down and skidding. Stay wire ropes that are incorrectly attached may damage the machine! Only fasten the eye hooks of the stay wire ropes at the marked attachment points. When the machine is on the loading area of the transport vehicle, secure the articulated steering as described in the chapter "8.1 Securing the Articulated Steering".
Then, block the wheels of the machine with wheel chocks or wedges and secure the machine with wire ropes in such a way that it will neither start to skid nor tip over during transport. To avoid damage to the machine, only fasten the eye hooks of the stay wire ropes at the marked at- tachment points. The attachment points to be used are the two eye hooks at the front frame and the tie bolt at the rear frame of the machine. The positions of the attachment points are shown in the figure on the previous page. 8.5 AFTER TRANSPORT After transport, remove all securing devices, such as wheel chocks or wedges and wire ropes.
Remove the catch of the articulated steering before you drive the machine off the transport vehicle. For this purpose, reverse the steps 1 through 4 described in the chapter "8.1 Securing the Articulated Steering". 15
