Road Traffic Safety & Operation
10.1 Before travelling on any public roadway
The following must be checked, as a minimum requirement, before moving the
machine on a public road.
1.
The hydraulic supply must be turned off and protected from accidental
activation by disconnecting the hydraulic feed line. Support all loose lines in a
safe manner.
2.
Ensure the lights (991 TBER) are connected and working correctly.
3.
Ensure the electronic control box or bale wrap computer is switched off.
4.
If plastic film is to be transported on the machine it must only be done so on the
holders provided and secured, if necessary. If plastic film is left in the dispenser
during transport, ensure the aluminium rollers are pushed away from the roll of
plastic, by having the spring latch in the up position.
5.
Always transport the machine with the table at the narrowest position.
6.
The operator must ensure that any other regulations regarding road use are
strictly adhered to.
The following should be inspected every time, before travelling on a public road:
Ensure that the tyres (991 TBER) are set to the correct pressure according to
the specifications, as outlined on “General dimensions & specifications” on
page 9.
Attention must be paid to the maximum travel speed-limit (40 km/hr) printed
on the chassis plate (991 TBER), on the left hand side of the machine. Other
speed limits that may be printed, on the drawbar plate or axle plate, for
example are not relevant.
Ensure that all the national road traffic regulations relating to the country are
fulfilled i.e. the use of safety chains may be mandatory in certain countries.
WARNING: Complete a full inspection before travelling on the road
Ensure that a full inspection is completed every time before attempting
to go on to a public roadway, always think and practice safety!
NOTE: Check lighting system before travelling on the road
Before travelling on a public road, the operator must ensure that the
complete (tractor and machine i.e. 991 TBER) lighting system is in a fully
functioning condition.
