7.1 - LOADING AND UNLOADING OPERATIONS FOR ROAD TRAVEL
Use suitable vehicles with a carrying capacity of greater than 1600 kg to transport the machine. Use loading
ramps, both of which are suitable for supporting a load of not less than 800 kg and which are hooked to the
bed of the vehicle. The ramps must be positioned at the correct distance for the tracks and must make and
angle with respect to the ground of no more than 50°.
Once the machine has been loaded onto the vehicle, it is recommended to secure it to the bed of the
vehicle using wire ropes or slings attached to the lifting rings indicated below.
THEY COULD DAMAGE THE SURFACE!
If studded tracks are mounted on the machine, cover the tracks with suitable rubber
pads if it has to travel across concrete or tarmacked surfaces.
If the machine has to be lifted in order to load it, make sure that you use suitable chains or wire ropes for lifting
and loading it.
Connect the ropes or chains to the lifting rings provided (A). The machine should always be lifted
without the equipment attached.
