Accidents may occur when the paver finisher and the screed are not properly pre-
pared for transportation or when transportation is carried out improperly!
Remove and secure all protruding parts (such as the levelling device, auger limit
switches, etc.).
Close the hopper lids and engage the hopper transport safeguards. Lift the screed
and engage the screed transport safeguards. Fold down and secure the protective
