3.1 TRANSPORT

The machine is packed in cartons. In case of storing,
do not place more than two packages of the same
type one over the other (1+1).
Do not put a load of more than 200 kg (having the
base with dimensions bigger than the dimensions of
the carton) on one single carton.
For transporting needs, the machine is delivered with
the handlebars placed on the engine bonnet, the PTO
engaging lever, the speed selection lever (16-17 Fig.
1) partially assembled and the wheels under separate
package.
In order to assemble them, please make reference to
the specific paragraphs listed further on.
We remind you that the packing materials are recy-
clable and therefore, after using them, they shall be
delivered to special centres in compliance with the
law in force in the country where the machine will be
used.
If the machine needs to be lifted, this must only be
done using the right kind of belt (Fig. 4), sudden move-
ments must be avoided and balance has to be kept
through the handlebars as shown in Fig. 4.
In case it is necessary to transport the machine on a
long route, this may be loaded onto trucks or other
suitable means of transport.
In order to load the machine onto the means of trans-
port, it is necessary to have two special loading ramps.
These ramps shall have a capacity of at least Kg. 250
each, a width of at least cm 20, the edges about cm 5
high and such a length so that the inclination does
not exceed the 15°/20° with respect to the horizon
line; they must be also equipped with a hooking sys-
tem to the means of transport.
The loading operations may be very dangerous if
they are not performed with the utmost care.

SECTION 3
Transport
Before loading, therefore, send away the unauthor-
ized personnel; clear and limit the transfer area and
check the integrity and the suitability of the means
of transport.
Check also the correct distance between the ramps.
You must make sure that this area is clear and that
there is a sufficient «escape area», that is a free and
safe area where it is possible to move quickly in case
the load falls.
Before loading, make sure that the body of the means
of transport is large enough to transport the machine
The area where you intend to load the machine shall
be a firm level surface to avoid load shift, if any.
- The means of transport shall have the engine shut
off, the gear and the parking brake on.
- The loading and the unloading shall be always
performed with an empty machine (with no load).
- Load the machine by walking at a low travel speed
(1st speed or reverse speed and engine at the
minimum rpm), by being careful to correctly en-
ter the ramps and to walk on the ramps safely.
Once the machine is loaded onto the means of
transport, make sure it is well locked in its posi-
tion.
Tighten securely the machine onto the platform with
ropes or well-tightened chains to prevent it from
moving,
After transporting it and before untying the machine,
check that the shape and the position of the machine
are not a hazard.
Then remove all ropes and chains and unload it with
the same means and procedures used for loading.
