Machine transport and handling
4.2 Loading and unloading of the machine
In order to load and unload the machine correctly on the transport vehicle, it
is necessary to have a loading ramp or an electric/hydraulic lifting platform
to reach the loading bed.
In case of use of loading ramp:
•
Install the ramp in such a way that the longitudinal axis of the machine
and the tractor to which it is attached can be aligned with that of the
transport vehicle.
• Secure the ramp with the truck/trailer bed to prevent sudden release.
• The ramp must be on level ground.
DANGER
Use only suitable and certified ramps, making sure that their nominal load
capacity is adequate for the gross weight of the machine and the tractor to
which it is connected.
In case of use of electro/hydraulic lifting platform:
•
Check beforehand that the platform capacity is sufficient to support the
weight of the machine and of the tractor to which it is connected, with
a safety margin, and that the dimensions of the platform are greater
than the overall dimensions of the machine in transport configuration.
•
Make sure that the machine and the tractor are stable and locked on
the platform during lifting and lowering.
•
Position the machine and tractor correctly on the platform so that their
longitudinal axis can be aligned with that of the transport vehicle.
CAUTION
Before moving the machine, check that there are no deposits of grease, oil,
soil, ice or other slippery substances or solvents on the floor of the transport
vehicle or on the ramps.
