Important information on load transport
• Always tilt in the attachment a little (toward the machine) for transport!
• Always transport the load close to the ground!
• Always adapt the transport speed to the load you are transporting and
to the ground conditions!
• Never leave the machine with the load raised!
• On slopes, the load must be on the uphill side of the machine/
attachment. Drive the machine backward on sloping terrain to prevent
the load from falling off and the machine from tilting forward when
braking.
• When transporting large bulk loads perform
backward machine travel for improved visibility!
• Observe the load-bearing capacity of bridges, basement ceilings,
vaults, etc., before moving the machine on them!
• Bear in mind the clearances of underpasses, tunnels,
gates, etc. before machine travel through or under them!
Important information on setting down loads
• Loads must only be set down on a suitable base with sufficient stability
and load-bearing capacity.
• Do not stack or set down in higher places loads which are not properly
packaged or which have shifted, or load units with damaged pallets/
stacking containers.
• Set down loads only in places where they will stand safely without
tilting, falling down or sliding! Affix appropriate marks to loads which
have been set down, especially in the area of public and private traffic!
• Observe the load-bearing capacity of the set-down area (for example
truck platforms, storage area in high-bay warehouses, etc.).
• Load the loading area of vehicles or trailers evenly and distribute the
load evenly on the axles. Distribute the load evenly on the axles.
• Stack loads only up to the authorized maximum pallet height
• Do not set down loads too near to slopes, construction pits, etc.
• Do not set down loads in transit or escape routes, and not in front of
safety facilities or works equipment which
must be accessible at any time.
