4.5 TRANSPORTING LOAD
When driving on public or private roads, respect the road traffic regulations, exercise caution
and prudence. Listed below are the key guidelines for driving the tractor and trailer
combination.
•
Before moving off, make sure that there are no bystanders, especially children,
near the trailer or the tractor. Ensure that the driver has sufficient visibility.
•
Make sure that the trailer is correctly attached to the tractor and tractor's hitch is
properly secured.
•
Vertical load borne by the trailer drawbar eye affects the steering of the
agricultural tractor.
•
The trailer must not be overloaded, loads must be uniformly distributed so that the
maximum permissible trailer axle and hitch loads are not exceeded. The trailer's
maximum carrying capacity must not be exceeded as this can damage the trailer
and pose a risk to the operator or other road users.
•
Permissible design speed and maximum speed allowed by road traffic law must
not be exceeded. The towing speed should be adapted to the current road
conditions, load carried by the trailer, road surface conditions and other relevant
conditions.
•
Trailer may be towed on slopes of up to 8° and unloading must take place only on
a level surface.
•
When not connected to the tractor, the trailer must be immobilised using parking
brake and possibly also with chocks or other objects without sharp edges placed
under the front and back wheels. Do NOT leave unsecured trailer. In the event of
machine malfunction, pull over on the hard shoulder avoiding any risk to other
road users and position reflective warning triangle according to traffic regulations.
•
When driving on public roads, the trailer must be marked with a slow-moving
vehicle warning sign attached to the rear wall of load box, if the trailer is the last
vehicle in the group.
•
While driving on public roads the trailer must be fitted with a certified or
authorised reflective warning triangle.
