6.3 Transporting the machine
Safety instructions regarding transport
• Adapt the travel speed of the transport vehicle to the load, the road and
traffic conditions and to the driving characteristics.
• The transport vehicle must be of sufficient size
– see chapter 2 “Transportation” on page 2-14.
See chapter “Technical data, Weights” on page 9-19 for the dimensions
and weights of the vehicle to be loaded.
• Ensure that the authorized maximum height of the transport vehicle is
not exceeded.
• Remove any mud, snow or ice from the tires so that the machine can
be safely driven onto the ramps.
• When positioning the load on the platform of the transport vehicle,
ensure that the center of gravity of the load is as low as possible and in
the longitudinal center 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.
• Ensure that the load does not fall short of the minimum axle load of the
steering axle of the transport vehicle. Failure to meet the minimum
rated capacity will cause a hazardous loss of steering control.
• 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 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 of the machine when using
belts and chains – see “Tying down the machine” on page 6-9.
• 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.
