4.12.1 Carrying loads with loading ma-
chines
Basic requirements:
 The ground taken by the route must be level
and solid and have sufficient carrying ca-
pacity.
 The uppercarriage must be positioned longi-
tudinal to the undercarriage (forward or
backward); maximum permissible deviation
5°.
 Turning the uppercarriage with outriggers
up and with loads is prohibited.
 The uppercarriage must be secured against
rotation (swing brake locked).
 The 4-point outrigger must be retracted
completely prior to traversing (risk of acci-
dent).
 Recommendation: only travel via steering
axle.
 Observe the position of the undercarriage to
the uppercarriage in relation to the steering
and directional control (accelerator pedal).
 Lock the oscillating axle cylinder during
traversing with boom via the oscillating axle.
 The values indicated in the tables of carry-
ing capacity for "not supported, longitudinal"
are downtime values. During traversing of
the machine, the carrying capacity values
must not exceed 60% of the "not supported,
longitudinal" values stated in the table.
 Secure the loads against swinging out.
 When traveling with loads, the maximum
permissible speed is 5 km/h (walking
speed).
 When traveling with loads, consider how
this might change the response of the ma-
chine (reduced stability due to dynamic
loads, avoid sudden changes in speed and
direction).
The "traversing" position represented in Fig. 113
provides the operator with optimum visibility dur-
ing the traversing of the machine.
