A proper lighting system, identification and equipment must be on the device if it is
to be transported on public roads. Further information can be requested from the
appropriate authorities.

Ensure that the tractor with mounted device always reaches the stipulated brak-
ing deceleration.
Observe the permitted axle loads, gross weights and transportation dimensions,
see also section entitled "Axle loads"!
Observe the permitted power limit of the tractor!
WARNING
Risk of accidents due to inadequate steerability
A tractor which is too small or which has inadequate front ballast
cannot be manoeuvred safely or steered with adequate tracking
stability. As a result, the driver or other road users may be injured
or killed.
Only use a tractor which can be adequately ballasted and safely
manoeuvred.
Ensure that the front axle of the tractor is always loaded with at
least 20% of the net weight of the tractor. See section on "Axle
loads".
