MACHINE TRANSPORT ON ROADS

9  MACHINE TRANSPORT ON ROADS

Transport position of the machine

• 

Connect  the  machine  by  suspending  on  the  tractor  using  the  three-point  suspension 
equipment.

• 

Bring the machine into the transport position ad chapter 8.3.

• 

The side frames must be secured with the connecting rod.

• 

The machine must be equipped  with removable shields with marking of contours,  functional 
lighting, and the board of the rear marking for slow vehicles (according to ECE No. 69).

• 

The lighting must be activated during travelling on roads.

• 

The tractor must be equipped with a special light device of an orange colour, which must be 
activated during travelling on roads.

• 

Secure the lower shoulders of the tractor TPS from side swing.

• 

The maximum transport speed during travelling on roads is 

25 km/hod (15,5 mph).

Ban of transport with decreased visibility!

• 

The  operator  is  obliged  to  pay  increased  attention  during  transport  on  roads,  due  to  the 
transport dimensions of the machine.

• 

The  operator  must observe  the  valid  regulations  for  transport  on  roads  (laws,  decrees)  after 
connecting  the  machine  to  the  tractor,  for  reason  of  a  change  of  the  axle  load.  The  driving 
properties  of  the  set  also  change  depending  on  the  terrain  nature,  adapt  the  manner  of 
driving to these conditions.

• 

Only machines with a valid technical certificate issued in accordance with the valid regulation 
on  the  approval  of  technical  qualification  and  operation  on  public  communications  as 
amended may be transported on public communications. Machines without a valid technical 
certificate may only be transported on public communications when carried by a towed trailer 
or other approved means of transport in accordance with the valid regulation.

• 

The operator is obliged to secure sufficient outlook during reversing from his position of the 
tractor driver. In case of insufficient outlook, the operator is obliged to call a competent and 
informed person.

• 

The  operator  must  secure  the  arms  of  the  rear  TPS  of  the  tractor  in  the  transport  position 
during road transport, i.e. prevent unexpected arm drop using the hydraulic arm control lever. 
At  the  same  time,  the  arms  of  the  rear  TPS  of  the  tractor  must  be  secured  against  side 
swinging.

• 

During  machine  transport  on  roads,  the  operator  must  observe  the  valid  laws  and  decrees 
that deal with this topic and which specify the relationships of the tractor axle load depending 
on transport speed.

• 

Clean the entire machine from any accumulated soil before the transportation on the road.
