  Enter the value for the calculated actual rear axle load and the permissible rear 

axle load as given in the tractor's operating instructions into the table. 

Tyre load-carrying capacity 

  Enter double the value (for two tyres) for the permissible tyre load-carrying ca-

pacity (see, e.g. tyre manufacturer's documentation) into the table.

3.9.4  Check before departure 

 Before driving with the implement raised, lock the control lever of the control 

unit; otherwise it may drop and the implement may be unintentionally lowered. 

  Mount and check the transport equipment such as the lighting system, warning 

signs and protective devices. 

The actuating cables for the quick-release couplings of the tractor must hang 
loose and must not actuate themselves in any position. 

 Before starting up and operating the implement, check the immediate vicinity 

around it. No-one must be standing in this area! 

  Ensure that visibility is adequate. 

Observe permitted axle loads, total weights and transportation dimensions.
