Safetyinstructionsregardingcranehandling
•The crane and the lifting gear must be adjusted to the proper dimensions.
➥ –see Specifications on page151.
•Crane handling requires lifting gear of four equal lengths.
•Secure the machine against unintentional movement!
DANGER!
Incorrect crane handling of the machineAccident risk.
☞ Make sure nobody is in the machine.
☞ Have loads fastened and crane operators instructed by experienced persons only. The person giving the instructions to the crane operator must be within sight or sound of the crane operator.
☞ Make sure the crane and the lifting gear (cables, chains) have sufficient loadbearing capacity.
☞ Load the machine only with the standard bucket empty and in transport position.
☞ Keep clear of suspended loads.
☞ It is essential to read the safety instructions in this manual –see Safety on page17
Cranehandlingthemachine
☞ Load the machine as follows:
• Empty the standard bucket.
• Mount and safely lock the standard bucket –see Installing attachments on page83.
• Set the drive to neutral –see Changing direction on page56.
• Tilt the standard bucket back and lower it to the transport position.
• Engage the parking brake –see Parking brake on page56.
• Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
• Do not allow anyone to stay in the cab.
• Close the doors and the engine cover.
• Fasten the loader to the crane at the four lifting points –see Machine overview on page7.
CAUTION!
Do not use the eye hooks on the cab to crane lift the machine.
• Carefully raise the machine.
LoadingandTransportingtheMachineonaTransportVehicle Generalsafetyinstructions
•The transport vehicle must be of adequate size - see “Weights” on page 158 for the dimensions and weights of the machine.
•Remove any mud, snow or ice from the tires so the machine can be safely driven onto the ramps.
•Secure the machine against unintentional movement.
•When positioning the machine on the transport platform, make sure the machine is at the lowest possible position and that the center of gravity of the load is on the center line of the transport vehicle, if possible.
•Do not exceed the transport vehicle’s gross weight rating and the gross axle weight rating when loading and transporting the machine.
•Make sure the load does not fall short of the minimum axle load of the steering axle, otherwise the transport vehicle’s steering could be seriously affected.
•Distribute partial loads to ensure even load on all axles.
•Secure the load properly so it cannot slip, slide, roll, tip over or fall, or cause the transport vehicle to tip over under usual transport conditions. Use anti-slip bases and linings, loadsecuring straps and chains, clamping beams, protective paddings, nets, edge protectors, etc. as required to properly secure the load.
•Transport conditions to be considered as possibilities are conditions where the brakes are slammed on, evasive maneuvers are performed with the transport vehicle, and transport on uneven roadways.
•Depending on the load, adjust transport speed to the road and traffic conditions and to the handling of the transport vehicle.
•Always use the proper tie-down points when using straps and chains –see Machine overview on page7.
