Dangers during road travel
Other road users can be put at risk when you drive on public roads and the machine is not
properly illuminated and/or exceeds the maximum dimensions and weights laid down by
national law.

Prior to driving on public roads, ensure that the maximum permissible dimensions, weights
and axle, support and trailer loads are not exceeded which are applicable under national law
for driving on public roads.

characteristics depend for instance on operating state and ground. If changed handling
characteristics are not considered, the driver may cause accidents.
