Check that the lights, warning indicators, protectors and brakes
are attached properly and are working.
Check the run of the quick coupling ropes of the power lift.
Fit extra lighting and warning signs, if necessary.

Set all parts of the machine and the tractor, especially the PTO
shaft, the hydraulics, the wheels and the electric system, to
transport mode.
Check the weight distribution between front and rear axles.
Mount front weights, if necessary.
Check the headroom of the combination.
Lower the power lift, if necessary.

machine is not lowered by accident.
Check if the lights are in good working order.
Check whether the dosing units are closed.
Switch the control box off.
