6.2 Loading the machine
Loading the machine on a transport vehicle
Safety instructions regarding loading
• The transport vehicle must be of appropriate size – refer to chapter
Technical data on page 9-1 for the dimensions and weights of the
machine to be loaded.
• Remove mud, snow or ice from the loading area and from the tires of
the machine to be loaded.
• Secure the transport vehicle against unintentional movement.
• When positioning the machine on the platform, ensure that the center
of gravity of the load is as low as possible and in the longitudinal center
line of the transport vehicle if possible (load distribution plan).
• Do not exceed the permissible maximum weight and the gross axle
weight rating of the transport vehicle.
• 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 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 (machine) 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 transportation conditions are conditions in the which the
brakes are slammed on, evasive maneuvers are performed with the
vehicle or in which uneven roadways are traveled on.
➥ Auxiliary means are, for example, anti-slip bases and linings, load-
securing straps and chains, clamping beams, protective paddings,
nets, edge protectors and many others.
• Always use the existing tie-down points when using belts and chains
– see chapter 3 “Machine overview” on page 3-1.
• Use only tested ropes, belts, hooks and Shackles (lockable brackets
with screws or socket pins) for tying down!
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.
