Never use the machine as a means of transport for things and/or people.
It is strictly forbidden to tow the round baler with bales on board.
Do not operate the round baler when it is being towed.
The machine must be towed as follows:
Machine unloaded.
All components in position for transport.
All safety devices engaged.
The machine must be hooked to the rear hook of the tractor using the towing eye attached to the front
drawbar of the round baler with the special towing rod and safety pin
“7.2_Hook up to the tractor for

.
Connect the electrical system and check that all the indicator, parking and stop lights are working
correctly.
Before towing:

During transport the cardan shaft is
disconnected
from the tractor and must be secured to the drawbar.
If it is necessary to tow the machine over a long distance it may be loaded on a lorry or railway cars.
IMPORTANT!
The maximum driving speed is determined by local road rules and by tyre size. Consult the "Tyre"
paragraph in the "Technical Data" chapter to determine the maximum permitted speed for each tyre
and for the baler.
