Precautions when driving on public roads
Dimensions
Depending on the dimensions of the machine, contact
the relevant authorities to ensure that it can be legally
transported on public roads.
If the machine is over the maximum legal size, follow the
local regulations for special transportation of oversize
equipment.
Gross weight and weight per axle
Check that the tractor's authorized gross weight as well
as its lift capacity and maximum weight per axle are not
exceeded.
The front axle load (1) must never, under any
circumstances, be less than 20% of the tractor's unladen
weight. If necessary, add ballast weights to the front or
to the rear to preserve the steering and braking
efficiency.
Transport position
Before transporting the machine on public roads, place
the machine into its transport position, according to the
instructions in this manual.
Lights and indicators
Before transporting the machine on public roads, ensure
that all legally required lightings and signallings are in
place.
Ensure that lightings and signallings are clean and in
good working order. Replace any missing or broken
equipment.
„ Maximum speed
Always keep to the legal speed limit for driving a tractor-
machine assembly on public roads.
Always obey current regulations for driving
on roads.
