Machine transportation

Comply with the national road traffic regulations when using pub-
lic highways.

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 completely disengaged

the function of the brake system

Ensure that the tractor has sufficient steering and braking power.
Any machines and front/rear weights connected to the tractor in-
fluence 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 tractor empty 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 for the connected machine and
the approved axle and drawbar loads for 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.

If the machine is fixed to the tractor's three-point linkage or lower
links, before moving off, ensure sufficient side locking of the trac-
tor lower links.

Before moving off, move all the swivellable machine parts to the
transport position.

Before moving off, secure all swivellable machine parts in the
transport position against dangerous position changes. Use the
transport safety catches intended for this.

Before moving off, secure the operating lever of the three-point
hydraulic system against the unintentional raising or lowering of
the connected machine.

Check that the transport equipment, e.g. lighting, warning equip-
ment and protective equipment, is correctly mounted on the ma-
chine.

Carry out a visual check that the upper and lower link pins are
firmly fixed with the linchpin against unintentional release.

Adjust your driving speed to the prevailing conditions.

Before driving downhill, switch to a low gear.

Before moving off, always switch off independent wheel braking
(lock the pedals).
