DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS
Carefully read the safety instructions before transpor-
ting the wood splitting machine.
Manufacturer and distributor do not assume liability
for damages caused by the non-observance of the
instructions.
For transport on public roads, the machine must be
empty and the devices must be in transport position.
• NOTE! Driving on public roads is only permitted
with the registered machine model (”Mobile”).
• Note that the mass of a non-braked trailer per-
mitted for the respective tractor/towing vehicle
must be given in the registration document
(750 kg). (”Mobile” model)
• Make sure there is no wood, waste or the like in
the splitting machine.
• Retract the splitting ram and remove the cross
blade for the transport period. (”Mobile” model)
• Prepare the machine for transport, see section:
”SPLITTING MACHINE OPERATION” --> ”PREPA-
RING THE MACHINE FOR HAULING” (Mastersplit TR)
• Prepare the conveyor for transport, see section:
”SPLITTING MACHINE OPERATION” --> ”PREPARING
THE MACHINE FOR HAULING” (”Mobile” model)
• If the machine is equipped with a loader, lock it
in vertical position and swivel the loader’s hook to
the rear.
• Make sure there are no loose parts in the machine.
• Make sure the cotter pins of the machine’s sup-
port legs are inserted and that the support legs
have been lifted for transport.
• Ensure the requested stability of the tractor/trai-
ler combination before coupling the splitting ma-
chine to a tractor. The tractor/trailer combination
must be under control at all times. (Mastersplit TR)
• Make sure the ball coupling locks into place on the
towing hook. (”Mobile” model)
• During transport, the tractor’s PTO must not be
engaged. (Mastersplit TR)
• Check the following safety equipment: lights, ref-
lectors, etc. (”Mobile” model)
• Do not exceed the permissible transport dimen-
sions, axle load and total weight. When driving on
public roads, at least 20% of the total weight must
be on the tractor’s front axle. (Mastersplit TR)
• Before starting make sure no other person is stan-
ding near the tractor/trailer combination.
• When driving, please take into consideration the
additional mass resulting from the machine’s
weight. It may affect the reactions, the steerabili-
ty and the braking function of the tractor/towing
vehicle.
• The maximum permissible driving speed is 80
km/h. (”Mobile” model)
• Please note that the machine rear sways when tur-
ning.
• Pay attention to the machine’s height near bridges
or other height restricting objects.
• Please take into account that the tractor/trailer
combination is extremely long and needs much
space for turning.
• Always clean the machine after operation and af-
ter transport to avoid paint damages. NOTE! Espe-
cially road salt must be washed away after tran-
sport.
• When backing off, the machine may obstruct the
rear view. Exercise extreme caution. If necessary,
ask a flagman to help you; he can indicate the re-
quired distances.
• When uncoupling the machine from the towing
vehicle always take into account the gradient of
the ground to ensure the machine cannot roll
away. (”Mobile” model)
