4.8 TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
When driving on public 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 ramps are correctly secured with interlocks and the support is
set to transport position.
•
Make sure that the trailer is correctly attached to the tractor and tractor's hitch is
properly secured.
•
It is recommended that another person should help in reversing or making difficult
manoeuvres. This person should observe the tractor and trailer combination and
the load. This person should be visible all the time to the tractor driver as well as
be especially careful and keep a safe distance from danger zones.
•
The trailer must not be overloaded, loads must be uniformly distributed so that
the maximum permissible axle and drawbar loads are not exceeded. The trailer's
maximum carrying capacity must not be exceeded as this can damage the
machine and pose a threat 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.
•
In the event of trailer malfunction, pull over on the hard shoulder avoiding any risk
to other road users and position reflective warning triangle according to traffic
regulations.
•
While driving on public roads the trailer must be fitted with a certified or
authorised reflective warning triangle. When driving, comply with all road traffic
regulations, indicate an intention to turn using indicator lamps, keep all road lights
