Preparation for travel in public traffic
•
Before you start travel, make sure that the machine complies with the relevant local regulations.
•
Fork prongs of pallet forks must be dismantled before undertaking trips in public traffic.
1. Secure the attachment:
–
Ensure that the bucket has been emptied and has been lowered to transport position.
–
Put the tooth guard on the bucket.
2. Check the lighting system, and if applicable, the function of the rotating beacon.
Switch on the headlights.
3. Adjust the attachment height for clearance with the road surface, but not more than necessary for safe transport to avoid visibility restrictions and reduced stability.
4. Do not travel with the loader arms completely raised to avoid collision with overhead objects such as viaducts and electrical power lines.
5. After adjusting the loader arm height, engage the travel lock to prevent unintentional control activation.
6.
Confirm that the seat belt is properly adjusted.
7. Survey the surrounding area to ensure that moving into traffic can be done safely.
