3.61 Loading and transporting the machine on a transport vehicle
Safety instructions regarding loading on a transport vehicle
• The transport vehicle must be of sufficient size
➥See the chapter on safety “Transporting, towing, loading” on page 2-9
➥See chapter “Technical data”, “Weights” on page 6-9 for the machine’s dimensions
and weights!
• Ensure that the authorized maximum height of the transport vehicle is not exceeded
• Remove any mud, snow or ice from the tyres so that the machine can be safely driven
onto the ramps
• Secure the machine against unintentional movement!
• When positioning the load on the platform, ensure that the centre of gravity of the
load is as low as possible and in the longitudinal centre line of the vehicle if possible
(load distribution plan).
• Do not exceed the gross weight rating and the gross axle weight rating of the transport
vehicle when loading and transporting the machine.
• Ensure that the load does not fall short of the minimum axle load of the steering axle of
the transport vehicle, otherwise the steering behaviour of the transport vehicle is
seriously affected.
• Place partial loads so as to ensure an even load on all axles of the transport vehicle.
• Store or secure the load with suitable auxiliary means so that it cannot slip, slide, roll,
tip over or fall, or cause the vehicle to tip over under usual transport conditions.
• Usual transport conditions are conditions in the which the brakes are slammed on,
evasive manoeuvres are performed with the vehicle or in which uneven roadways are
driven on. Auxiliary means are for example anti-slip bases and linings, load-securing
straps and chains, clamping beams, protective paddings, nets, edge protectors, etc.
• Depending on the load, adapt the travel speed to the road and traffic conditions and to
the handling of the transport vehicle.
• When using belts and chains, always use the existing tie-down points (symbol A)
– see chapter 2 “Transporting, towing, loading” on page 2-9.
• When you tie down the machine with belts, do not place and tighten them in sharp-edged
eyelets
When loading and driving on ramps, the diesel engine can be damaged if the
engine oil level is too low.
☞Before loading, check the oil level in the diesel engine
• The oil level must be visible at the MAX mark of the oil dipstick
