12.2.2.1 Preparing for transport
Stowing payload:
Do not exceed the permissible loading (overall weight, coupling load, axle load).
Observe national traffic laws. If additional loading is not permitted, the additional load must be
stowed in the towing vehicle.
1. Check that loading the machine with tools or accessories during transport is permissible.
2. Place additional loads only in the spaces provided (if available) and secure carefully.
Additional precautions for a very dirty machine:
The machine can become very dirty after prolonged use on a construction site. A machine in such
condition is not suitable for towing on public roads.
1. Clean the machine, particularly the chassis, running gear, the lights and direction indicators.
2. Check the function of wheels, brakes, lights and signalling equipment.
Functional defects must be repaired prior to transport.
Additional precautions for conditions of snow and ice:
Considerable snow or ice may build up on the machine under low temperature conditions.
1. CAUTION!
Risk of accidents caused by snow and/or ice falling off the machine!
Snow or ice falling from the towed machine can endanger following vehicles.
Problems with driving dynamics and damage to the machine could occur.
The maximum permissible axle load could be exceeded.
➤
Do not tow the machine if it is coated in snow or ice.
2. Remove any snow or ice before towing.
Perform the following tasks prior to transporting the machine:
1. Make sure the towing hitch is compatible with the ball or eye coupling on the towed machine.
2. Check that the machine is shut down and secured against accidental restarting.
3. Detach all connecting lines and hoses.
4. Make sure there are no unsecured tools lying on or in the machine.
