•
Is the admissible overall weight complied with? Observe the admissible towing load and static
load of the trailer unit as well as the admissible axle load.
•
Note the permitted brake load, the permitted tire load capacity load, and the permitted tire
pressure.
•
Is the machine coupled correctly?
•
Can fertilizer be lost while traveling?
○
Observe the filling level of the fertilizer in the hopper.
○
The metering slides must be closed.
○
Switch off the electronic control unit.
•

placed.
3.9.2
Road travel with the machine
Handling, steering, and braking performance of the tractor are affected by the towed machine. For
example, an excessive support load of the machine will reduce the weight on the front axle of the
tractor and affect the steering.
•
Adapt your driving to the modified driving characteristics.
•
When driving, always ensure that there is sufficient visibility. If vision is restricted (e.g., when
reversing), another person is required to direct the driver.
•
Observe the admissible maximum speed.
•
Avoid sudden turns when driving uphill or downhill or across a slope. The change in the center of
gravity may increase the danger of tipping. Special care is to be particularly applied when driving
on uneven, soft ground (e.g., when entering fields, curbs).
•
Passengers are prohibited on the machine during transport and operation.
•
If necessary, attach a front weight at the tractor. For further information, please refer to the
operator’s manual of the tractor.
