Road Traffic & Transport Safety
The valid road traffic regulations are to be observed when travelling on public roads, paths and areas.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible transportation widths and heights and install road lighting
equipment, warnings and safety covers where necessary.
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads, tire carrying capacities and total weights, in order to ensure
sufficient steering and braking capabilities. Handling is affected by the implement connected. It is
important to take into account the large overhang and the centrifugal mass of the implement, particularly
when cornering.
DO NOT EXCEED A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 20 MPH DURING TRANSPORTATION.
LOSS OF VEHICLE/MACHINE CONTROL CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH!
Always travel at a reasonable and safe speed. Never exceed 20 mph.
The whole machine is to be cleaned of soil that has been collected before travel on public roads.
Passengers are strictly forbidden to ride on the machine.
Never transport with any tank more than half full.
Never transport with fan running.
Shift the tractor in to a lower gear when transporting down steep slopes or hills. Latch the tractor brakes
together. Stop slowly.
Avoid steep slopes. Some slopes may exceed tractor braking capability. Use engine braking to reduce
speed when possible.
Keep away from overhead power lines. Serious injury or death may result. Proceed cautiously under
overhead power lines and around utility poles. Know the transport height of your machine.
Do not position auger when near electrical lines.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact with overhead electric lines.
Always fold wings fully. If wing fold cylinders are removed, chain wings together to prevent accidental
lowering.
Do not transport with an underweight tractor. Transport only with a properly sized tractor.
