Machine transportation
When using public highways, national road traffic regulations
must be observed.
Before moving off, check:
the correct connection of the supply lines
the lighting system for damage, function and cleanliness
the brake and hydraulic system for visible damage
that the parking brake is released completely
the proper functioning of the braking system
Ensure that the tractor has sufficient steering and braking power.
Any machines and front/rear weights connected to the tractor
influence the driving behaviour and the steering and braking
power of the tractor.
If necessary, use front weights.
The front tractor axle must always be loaded with at least 20% of
the empty tractor weight, in order to ensure sufficient steering
power.
Always fix the front or rear weights to the intended fixing points
according to regulations.
Comply with the maximum load of the connected machine and
the approved axle and support loads of the tractor.
The tractor must guarantee the prescribed brake delay for the
loaded vehicle combination (tractor plus connected machine).
Check the brake power before moving off.
When turning corners with the machine connected, take the
broad load and balance weight of the machine into account.
Before moving off, ensure sufficient side locking of the tractor
lower links, when the machine is fixed to the three-point hydrau-
lic system or lower links of the tractor.
Before moving off, move all the swivel machine parts to the
transport position.
Before moving off, secure all the swivel machine parts in the
transport position against risky position changes. Use the trans-
port locks intended for this.
Before transporting, secure the operating lever of the three-point
hydraulic system against the unintentional raising or lowering of
the connected/hitched machine.
Check that the transport equipment, e.g. lighting, warning
equipment and protective equipment, is correctly mounted on the
machine.
Before transportation, carry out a visual check that the upper and
lower link pins are firmly fixed with the lynch pin against uninten-
tional release.
Adjust your driving speed to the prevailing conditions.
Before driving downhill, switch to a low gear.
Before moving off, always switch off the independent wheel
braking (lock the pedals).
