2.4 Transport and loading
You are advised to check the dimensional limits established for means of
transport if the machine must be transported to its specific work site.
The machine can be loaded onto the vehicle in two different ways:
1) Using appropriate ramps and the machine translation commands: In this
case, make sure that the ramp gradient is within the gradeability indicated
in the PERFORMANCE data and that the bearing capacity of the chutes suits
the weight of the machine.
Note: The machine has an advanced traction control function "Direction-
Control" (DC-S on the control panel) which allows it to be moved in a straight
line using a single joystick. It is advisable to use this operating mode with the
control stations in the maximum track width and in turtle mode, after aligning it
with the ramps.

PAGE 20 ALMAC s.r.l.
2) Lifting the machine by forklift using the relevant tubular elements.
Attention: the maximum weight of the machine in the heaviest configuration is
1800 Kg
Note: Once the machine is positioned on the vehicle, secure it by means of
straps, connecting them to the appropriate holes on the frame.
