4.2 TRANSPORT TYPOLOGIES AND PACKAGE
Transport by land by truck
The machine comes without all the liquids that can be set on fire and protected in the most exposed and
delicate parts by means of cardboard and/or plywood and/or polyethylene extensible film.
To fix the machine on the platform of the transporting unit, use nailed wedges and/or metal brackets and/or
tie rods.
Transport by sea in wooden cases or container
The machine comes without all the liquids that can be set on fire; metal parts are protected with waterproof
wax.
To fix the machine on the package, use nailed wedges and/or metal brackets and/or tie rods.
At the inside, the wooden case foreseen a protection with tarpaper.
Materials usually used for the package are:
⇒wooden
⇒nails and/or steel screws
⇒cardboard and/or paper
⇒polyethylene extensible film
⇒adhesive tape.
4.3 UNPACKING
When receiving the machine verify the integrity of the package; advise immediately the manufacturer and
the person in charge of the transport (even with photos) when possible damages due to transport or
tampering with removal, even partial, of the content happen.
Verify if the supplied material corresponds to the ordered one; immediately advise the manufacturer if there
are some discrepancies.
In case of transportation on wooden case, take away, in sequence, the upper cover and lateral panels,
before removing the machine.
During unpacking operations, avoid any shock to the structure or to the machine units, in order to avoid any
damage to the machine itself.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
the elimination of packaging materials must be effectuated in conformity with the
norms in force in the relevant country.
DANGER
the non-respect of the above mentioned conditions may cause dangerous
situations as well as damages to the machine with the consequent decline
of any warranty condition.

4.4 TOWING TRANSPORTATION
The machine is not arranged to be towed on the road.
Possible displacements on trailer in the working site must be carried out by a connection to the towing unit
by means of the towing eye on the drawbar (tab. 1) and in the respect of the speed limits of the axle. The
used towing unit must be homologated for towing trailers with mass and dimensions as per the described
machine.
Before transporting lift the rear stabilizers and the front plough (tab. 2, pos.1,5) through the dedicated
screen on the computer of the machine control (tab. 8, pos.1 and par.5.5.2.2 Machine Optional )
(NOTE: This must be done with the engine running).
Check the inflation pressure of tires (7 bars).
During machine transport operations, nobody must stay on the machine itself.
4.5 POSITIONING AND ANCHORING
Positioning and anchoring of the machine have to be carried out only by trained personnel, verifying if the
ground grants the foreseen stability, support and anchoring.
The machine has to be placed in a distance from the first pylon or trestle for the rope passage (or conductor)
included between 2 and 4 times the height h of the pylon itself (see diagram here below)
It is possible to use the machine at a distance from the pole included between 1 and 2 times the height of
the pole itself. In this case, the anchorage described thereafter must be over dimensioned of 125%
compared to the reported data and some moorings must be provided on the front side of the machine.
PROHIBITION
when the distance between the machine and the pole is lower than the height of
the pole itself, the machine use is not possible.
Machine anchoring sequence is the following:
a. keep the wheel brakes of the machine disengaged.
b. place the rear stabilizers as close to the ground through the dedicated screen on the computer of the
machine control (tab. 2, pos.5 and par.5.5.2.2 Machine Optional )
c. set the front plow through the dedicated screen on the computer of the machine control (tab. 2, pos.1
and par.5.5.2.2 Machine Optional ) in order to support the rear stabilizers to the ground,
thereby relieving the tires.

HYDRAULIC PULLER TENSIONER PT2450
Manual: MI-PT2450-050-00-GB Date: 2 .07.201 Author: AT Page: 15 of 89
d. anchor the machine to the ground using 2 ropes each having a load of use guaranteed minimum of 3
time the maximum force allow of the machine. linking the connections provided (tab. 2 pos.8 and tav.3
pos.10), in the rear of the machine, with anchoring pegs. The attacks used to be an anchor shackle with
a breaking load of 3 time the maximum force capacity tons and the safety factor of 5. It is necessary that
the ropes make an angle with the direction of pull as shown on the table 1, to allow the machine to
withstand even any transverse loads.
IMPORTANT
before starting stringing operations, we suggest to test the pull, reaching the
max. value expected for the operations, in order to check the carried out
anchoring and the machine settling. It is better to have the rear anchoring slightly
released so that the machine can freely settle.
f. put the anchoring ropes under tension using the suitable turnbuckles (if necessary, anchor the machine
also in the front).
g. block the machine brakes acting on the handle brake wheel.
ATTENTION
the non-respect of the foreseen anchoring operations may cause dangerous
situations during machine use.
