Transport
This chapter explains how to drive safely on the road.
When you use a Kverneland Packomat together with the plow, other
instructions apply. Read the operator‘s manual for Kverneland Packo
-
mat.
Safety
Use the transport wheel
If the plow is equipped with a depth/transport wheel, use it when driv
-
ing on the road. If you do not use the depth/transport wheel, this can
result in an extreme load on both the tractor and the plow and they
may be damaged.
Disconnect the top link
When you use a depth/transport wheel, the top link should be discon
-
nected. Otherwise, the contours of the road could result in extreme
forces on the plow and it could be damaged.
Adjust speed: max. 25 km/h (15 mph)
Always adjust the driving speed according to the road or field condi
-
tions, but never drive faster than 25 km/h (15 mph). Driving at too high
speed leads to extreme loads on both the tractor and the plow and
they may be severely damaged.
Be aware of the plow’s length
The plow is very long and swings out when turning. Avoid allowing the
rear of the plow to hit obstacles during sharp swings.

WARNING
Stabilize the lower links
During transport, stabilize the tractor's lower links. This will pre
-
vent the plow from accidentally moving sideways.
