6.3 Transporting the vehicle
Safety instructions on tying down the machine
• Match the travel speed of the transport vehicle to the load, road and
traffic conditions and to the driving characteristics.
• The transport vehicle must be of sufficient size
– see chapter 2 “Transportation” on page 2-15.
See chapter “Technical data”, Weight on page 9-17 for the machine’s
dimensions and weights.
• Ensure that the authorized maximum height of the transport vehicle is
not exceeded.
• Remove any mud, snow or ice from the tires so that the machine can
be safely driven onto the ramps.
• When positioning the load on the platform of the transport vehicle,
ensure that the center of gravity of the load is as low as possible and in
the longitudinal center line of the vehicle if possible
(load distribution plan).
• Do not exceed the gross weight rating and the gross axle weight rating
of the transport vehicle when loading and transporting the machine.
• Ensure that the load does not fall short of the minimum axle load of the
steering axle of the transport vehicle. Failure to meet the minimum
rated capacity will cause a hazardous loss of steering control.
• Place partial loads so as to ensure an even load
on all axles of the transport vehicle.
• Store or secure the load with suitable auxiliary means so that it cannot
slip, slide, roll, tip over or fall, or cause the
vehicle to tip over under usual transport conditions.
➥ Usual transportation conditions are conditions in the which the
brakes are slammed on, evasive maneuvers are performed with the
vehicle or in which uneven roadways are traveled on.
➥ Auxiliary means are, for example, anti-slip bases and linings,
load-securing straps and chains, clamping beams, protective
paddings, nets, edge protectors and many others.
• Always use the existing tie-down points of the machine when using
belts and chains – see "Tying down the machine" on page 6-11.
• When tying down the machine with belts,
do not place and tighten them in sharp-edged eyelets.
• Use plastic sheets to protect electric
motors and DC/AC converters against the weather.
• Do not exceed a transport period of 24 hours if a battery is installed in
the machine and temperatures have fallen below 0 °C (32 °F).
