Operation
3.8 Road travel
• Do not exceed the permitted speed limit (see serial plate).
• Riding on the feeder wagon is not permitted.
• The roadworthiness of the feeder wagon must be checked before travelling on the public
highways, in particular the lights and tyres and whether the rear flap has been closed, the
articulated shaft lowered and whether the pick-up has been lifted out.
• Travelling on public roads is only permissible with the ladder locked in folded up position.
• Before starting, make sure that the view is completely clear on and around the tractor and
feeder wagon.
• If driving on straight roads at speeds above 30 km/h with the wagon loaded, the steering axle
(special fitting) must be locked to increase stability while travelling.
Before reversing, first straighten the steerable wheels on
the rear axle and pressurise the arrest ram until the
steerable wheels are straightened.
It may also be necessary to drive a short distance
forwards or backwards in a straight line.
While driving backwards, leave the pressure on the
hydraulic connection as it is.
While driving forwards, switch the tractor valve for the
steering axle to „lower“ so that the wheels can adjust freely
when going round bends.
The steering axle must be locked when driving
forwards:
a) if the cornering stability of the non-steerable front axle is
no longer sufficient, for example:
• on a slope
• on un-made-up or unpaved ground
• when the first axle is relieved by operating the
articulated tow-bar
• while driving over a silo
• When travelling at speeds above 30 km/h on a straight
road with the wagon loaded, the steering axle must be
locked.
To do this, pressurise the arrest ram until the steerable
wheels straighten up. While driving forwards with the
steering axle locked, leave the pressure on the hydraulic
connection as it is.
An indicator lamp on the control box indicates that the
arrest ram is under pressure and the steering axle is
therefore locked.
