Danger of injury due to overturn-
ing loading machine
• The values in the carrying capaci-
ty tables must be strictly observed
and must not be exceeded.
In an emergency: Administer first
aid, seek treatment from a doctor.
Compliance with the following points is essen-
tial:
Machine with outriggers up.
 The ground taken by the route must be level
and solid and have sufficient carrying capac-
ity.
 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 (142/66) locked).
 Recommendation: only travel via the steer-
ing 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 carrying
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, longi-
tudinal" 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).
 The "traversing" position represented in Fig.
143 provides the operator with optimum visi-
bility during the traversing of the machine.
