Transport of the machine
●
When travelling on public roads observe your legal national traf-
fic regulations.
●
Always ensure sufficient steering and braking of the tractor.
Steering and braking of the tractor are influenced by mounted or
trailed machines and front or rear ballast weights.
●
If necessary, use ballasts weights.
The tractor front axle load must be at least 20 % of the tractor's
net weight in order to ensure a sufficient steering.
●
Attach the front or rear ballast weights in the appropriate manner
on the fixing points provided.
●
Observe the max. payload of the mounted / trailed machine and
the permissible axle and support loads of the tractor.
●
The tractor must provide the prescribed brake lag for the laden
combination (tractor plus mounted / trailed machine).
●
Before starting to travel on public roads, check function of
brakes.
●
When driving round bends note the width of the mounted or
trailed machine and the gyrating mass of the machine.
●
Before starting to travel on public roads ensure the sufficient
lateral locking of the tractor lower link arms when the machine is
fixed to the three point hydraulics or the lower link arms of the
tractor.
●
Before starting to travel get all swivelling machine parts into
transport position.
●
Before starting to travel secure all swivelling machine parts in
transport position against dangerous movement from their posi-
tion. For this use the intended transport securing devices.
●
Before starting to travel secure the lever of the three point hy-
draulics against unintended lifting or lowering of the mounted or
trailed machine.
●
Before any transport travel ensure that the required transport
device is correctly fitted on the machine, as, e.g. traffic lights,
warning devices, guards.
●
Adapt your travelling speed to the prevailing conditions.
●
Choose a lower gear when driving down hill.
●
As a matter of principle switch off the single wheel braking (lock
the pedal) before starting any transport travel.
