Safety measures and precautions
26
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.
3.9.5 Correct behaviour in road traffic
When driving on public highways, observe the relevant statutory national regu-
lations.
Driving behaviour, steering and braking performance are influenced by ballast
weights.
Ensure that the tractor has adequate steering and braking performance.
When driving around corners, take into account the wide radius and the inertia
of the device.
It is prohibited to transport people on the device.
