2.2. Safety precautions during operation Safety 2.2.3. Transport Loading and unloading the machine Loading and unloading is potentially dangerous. For this reason, proceed with extreme care. Load and unload the machine only on solid and level ground. Keep a safety distance to the edge of the road. Block the wheels of the transport vehicle (1) and place support blocks (2) under both ramps before driving the machine onto the transport vehicle. 3 Only use ramps (3) with appropriate carrying capacities and widths. The ramps must be long enough to ensure that the maximum loading gradient (4) of 15° is not exceeded.
4 2 1 5 Ensure that the ramps are positioned and fastened safely and that both sides have the same height. Set the distance between the ramps to the distance between the wheel tracks (5). Ensure that the surfaces of the ramps are clean and free of grease, oil, ice, and loose material. Remove any dirt adhering to the wheels. When loading and unloading the machine, keep the engine speed low and drive slowly. Do not carry out steering movements on the ramps. If required, drive off the ramps again, correct alignment of the machine, and drive up again. After loading, i.e. when the machine is on the transport vehicle, apply the parking brake. Block the wheels of the machine with wheel chocks.
Set the steering wheel of the machine to straight driving. Secure the articulated steering with the locking bolt (Right side: 1). Secure the machine on the transport vehicle by means of appropriate fastening equipment. Only use the attachment points on the machine for lifting and securing. For safety rea- sons, do not use any other points for fastening (e.g. axle, car- dan shaft, articulated steering, bucket teeth, or strapping around the cab). Transport When moving the machine on a transport vehicle, adhere to all applicable motor vehicle traffic regulations.
Determine the transport route, taking into account the width, length, height, and weight of the load and, if necessary, have this approved by the responsible authorities. 2-18 WA100M-5 – VEAM280201 1
