Loading and transporting the machine.
Risk of accident
If the machine is driven onto the transport vehicle pointing forward and the angle
of the ramps is too step, there is a risk of accidents.
1. Remove any mud, snow and ice from the loading platform and ramps of the transport vehicle and the machine's
crawler tracks.
2. Brace the ramps in such a way that they will not bend under the machine's weight.
3. Ensure that the ramps will not move when driving onto them with the machine.
4. Start the engine. See "Starting the engine".
5. Switch the drive setting switch to 0. See "Drive settings and driving mode".
6. Move the engine speed control lever to ⅔-speed. See "Controlling the engine speed".
7. Align the machine in front of the ramps in such a way that it can be moved onto the loading vehicle's platform
by reversing it up in a straight line and without have to make any change in direction.
8. Slowly reverse the machine onto the loading platform. Take particular care when reversing up the ramps and at
the point where the ramps meet the loading platform.
9. Fully lower the smoothing board. See "Raising/lowering the smoothing board"
10. Switch off the engine.
11. Press the EMERGENCY STOP button on the manual control unit and on the left and right side of the driver's cab.
12. Switch off the main switch. See "Main switch".
13. Tie the machine to the marked lashing eyes using chain tensioners or tension belts.
When doing so, insert suitable shackles into the lashing eyes.

Operating the machine
Due to weight of the engine, the machine must always be reversed onto the transport
vehicle, as it might otherwise slide off the ramp.
The ramps' angle must not exceed 15°. If the angle is greater, the smoothing board will
scrape over the floor when the machine is loaded and the machine will come down onto
the loading platform with excessive force once its heaviest point has moved onto the
platform.
