MACHINE TRANSPORT ON ROADS
Transport Position of
VERSO
o
Connect the machine to the bottom hitch of the tractor or using a two-point hitch (TPS 3).
o
Connect the brakes of the machine (if supplied) to the tractor using the brake head – release the brakes
before lifting the machine on the axle.
o
Lift the machine on the axle.
o
Fold the side frames into the transportation position.
o
Always secure the side frames using the safety rod!
o
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).
o
The lighting must be activated during travelling on roads.
o
The tractor must be equipped with a special light device of an orange colour, which must be activated
during travelling on roads.
o
The maximum transport speed during travelling on roads is
20 kph (12,4 mph).
Ban of transport with decreased visibility!
Bring the machine into the transport position.
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.
The operator is obliged to present the machine certificate of roadworthiness as needed, according to the
valid regulations for road traffic (decree, law) (only in the Czech Republic).
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 fold the side frames for transport and secure then against unwanted unfolding by
disconnecting the hydraulic circuit of the machine and the tractor.
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.
The
VERSO 9
machine exceeds the transport dimensions for driving on roads
(height above 4m) and therefore this machine is not approved for driving on roads.
When
extending
VERSO 8
to 9m, the certificate of roadworthiness issued for
VERSO 8
is no longer valid due to the transportation height increased above the
permitted value. Transportation on public roads with the machine extended to 9m
is not permitted.
