1 Safety regulations for transportation
m
Accidents can happen when the paver finisher and the screed are not properly
prepared for transportation or when transportation is carried out improperly!
Reduce both the paver finisher and the screed to their basic widths. Remove all
protruding parts (such as the levelling device, auger limit switches, aprons, etc.).
When transporting under a special permit, secure these parts!
Close the hopper lids and engage the hopper transport safeguards. Lift the screed
and engage the screed transport safeguards. Convert the protective roof and engage
the latch.
Check that the clamping device for the auger frame is fastened and that the telescopic
tube cannot slide out (see chapter E, section 2.5).
Pack all parts that are not permanently fixed to the paver finisher and the screed into
the appropriate boxes and into the hopper.
Close all coverings and check that they are securely seated.
In Germany, gas bottles must not be transported on the paver finisher or on the
screed.
Disconnect the gas bottles from the gas system and protect them with their caps. Use
a separate vehicle to transport them.
When loading via ramps, the paver finisher may slip aside, tilt or topple over.
Drive carefully! Keep the danger area free of persons!
Additional stipulations for transportation on public roads:
m
Wheel type paver finishers may travel on public roads along short sections only in the
Federal Republic of Germany.
On machines with a gas screed, the two lower floorboards of the screed need to be
removed and placed in the front hopper.
On machines with an electric screed, the two lower floorboards of the screed and
ladder need to be removed and placed in the front hopper.
m
Note that in other countries different regulations may apply.
The operator must be in the possession of a valid permit for vehicles of this type.
The operating panel must be moved to the side of the oncoming traffic and secured
in this position.
The driving lights must be properly adjusted.
Only attachments and accessories may be transported in the hopper, no material or
gas bottles!
If necessary, the operator must be assisted by a second person when driving on pub-
lic roads – especially at road crossings and junctions.
