General safety instructions
Machine transportation
•
Comply with the national road traffic regulations when using
public highways.
•
Before moving off, check:
ο
The correct connection of the supply lines
ο
The lighting system for damage, function and cleanliness
ο
The brake and hydraulic system for visible damage
ο
That the parking brake is completely disengaged
ο
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
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 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 of the connected machine and
the approved axle and drawbar 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 linkage
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
transport locks intended for this.
•
Before moving off, secure the operating lever of the three-point
linkage against unintentional raising or lowering of the connected
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 bolts are firmly fixed with the linchpin 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).
