0 - 16 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WX210 - WX240
Rules for driving on the road Recovering and towing the machine
The machine must not be driven on
the public highway unless the con-
ditions of the “General Operating
Permit” are observed or, in the
event of deviations from the “Gen-
eral Operating Permit”, a
vehicle-
specific operating permit
has
been granted. These permits must
be present in the cab during such
travel.
- Always have a warning triangle,
warning lamp and first-aid kit on
board.
- Bring the working equipment into a
position in which the maximum
machine dimensions are not ex-
ceeded.
- Switch the bucket/grab switchover
valve to "Grab" position. The
bucket cylinder is then hydrauli-
cally blocked.
- Mount clearance lamp on stick and
connect to a socket.
- Raise levelling blade completely
and attach a reflector.
- Raise claws (option) completely
and block mechanically.
- Switch off floodlamps.
- Lock superstructure..
Tow the machine with a tow-rod or
towing rope only.
The tow-rod or rope must be free
from damage. They must be dimen-
sioned in such a way that the calcu-
lated breaking load is equal to three
times the tractive power of the tow-
ing machine.
The towing vehicle must have ade-
quate tractive power.
Drive slowly, carefully and
smoothly.
All persons must keep clear of the
tow-rod or rope.
- Tow only if the brakes and the
steering of the machine are func-
tioning properly and if the machine
cannot be otherwise transported.
- Tow defective machines only as far
as necessary to recover the ma-
chine from hazardous areas.
- After the recovery, the machine
must be secured against inadver-
tent movements and unauthorized
starting.
- Have the machine repaired before
transporting it over greater dis-
tances, or load it onto a transport
vehicle.
- The machine is not suitable for
towing trailers or other vehicles
over longer distances; this would
result in damage to axles and
gearboxes. The tow coupling is
designed solely for towing or re-
covering vehicles from hazardous
areas or for lashing purposes on
transport vehicles.
