Safety
Driving on the road
Make sure that the condition of the implement conforms to traffic
regulations.
The implement must conform to current national traffic regulations if
you intend to drive it on public roads. This includes, for example:
•
Lights, warning equipment and guard devices are installed
•
Compliance with the permissible transport widths and weights, ax-
le loads, tyre loadbearing capacities, laden weights and national
speed restrictions
•
Compliance with the maximum permissible transport speed of
40 km/h.
If this is not complied with, the driver and keeper of the vehicle are lia-
ble.
Close the ball valve
Close the ball valve before driving on the road. If the ball valve is open
and there is an operating error, the implement can drop. This can cau-
se damage to the implement.
Check tyre pressure
Check tyre pressure regularly. The wrong tyre pressure will reduce the
service life of a tyre and can cause unstable driving properties and ac-
cidents.
Check the pin connection
The hitch pin must be in perfect condition, there must be no signs of
wear and it must be properly secured. Otherwise coupled implements
are able to detach themselves.
Check remote cord for the quick release coupling
Remote cords must hang loose and must not, when in their lowered
position, release the couplings of their own accord. Coupled imple-
ments can otherwise detach themselves independently from the trac-
tor's lower link arm.
No riding on the implement
Neither personnel nor objects are allowed to be transported on the im-
plement at any time. Riding on the implement is hazardous and strictly
prohibited.
Altered driving and braking performance
The driving and braking performance are altered when the implement
is attached to the tractor. Take the width and balancing weight of the
implement into consideration, especially on sharp bends. A driving
style which is not adapted to road conditions can cause accidents.
Adapting the speed
In the event of bad road conditions and excessive speed very high
forces can occur that subject the material of the tractor and of the im-
plement to high loads or to an overload. It is therefore important to ad-
just your speed to the road conditions. A driving style which not adap-
ted to road conditions can cause accidents.
