carrying capacities and total weights, in order to
ensure sufficient steering and braking capabilities.
The front axle must be loaded with at least 20 %

large overhang and the centrifugal mass of the
implement, particularly when cornering.

be lowered on these spacers.
Do not transport the machine in a position higher
than necessary.

Clean soil from the folding areas before retract-
ing. Otherwise there could be damage to the
mechanics.
Clean all soil off the machine before driving on
public roads.
Passengers are strictly forbidden to ride on the
