During loading and transport, earthmoving machinery and any necessary auxiliary
devices must
be secured against inadvertent movement.
The travelling gear and crawler unit of earthmoving machinery must be cleaned of mud,
snow and
ice to such an extent that ramps can be negotiated without a risk of slippage.
Low-loader access ramps must be fitted with wooden planks before being negotiated by
tracked
vehicles.
Before the actual transport, the route to be covered should be inspected to ensure that
the roads
are wide enough, bridge and underpass openings large enough, and roads, tracks and
bridges
are strong enough.
Supervision
The prescribed deadlines for recurring tests must be
observed.
Before starting his work, the machine operator must also check as specified by the
manufacturer
that safety, driving and operating devices, e.g. overload warning system, brakes,
steering,
lighting, are fully functioning.
When mounting operating devices on quick-change systems, the firm fit of the
operating device
must be checked by moving it in all directions. During this process, all persons must
keep out of
the hazard zone.
9.3 Hydraulic hoses must be replaced as soon as the following damage is
noticeable:
- damage to the outer layer through to the intermediate layer,
- brittleness in the outer layer,
- distortions in pressurised or unpressurised state not conforming with the original
shape of the
installed hose,
- leakages,
- damage to the hose fittings or to the connection between fittings and hose,
- storage damage (the shelf life of the hose should not exceed 2 years),
- damage resulting from exceeding the standard service life (the service life under
normal
conditions should not exceed 6 years).

The coolant level must be checked only when the lid is cool; the lid must be turned
carefully to
reduce the pressure.
The machine operator must report any recorded defects without delay to the supervisor
and, in the
event of a change of operator, to the operator replacing him.
In the event of defects endangering the operational safety of the earthmoving machine,
it must be
taken out of operation until the defects have been rectified.
