Independent braking must be prevented (lock pedals) on all runs with trailers.

 

 

 

Do not go between tractor and trailer while the engine is running.

Observe permitted axle loads, tongue loads and laden weights, in particular the maximum 

tongue load which the trailer hitch can take on.

It is forbidden to go within the chute rotation range of the hydraulically swivelled back panel.

When maintenance and repair work is being carried out with the back panel open, the latter 

must be secured by closing the stop cock.

 

Keep an eye on the reactions of your tractor on the road when the load is unevenly distributed 

due to loading and auxiliary parts.

Always adapt your driving speed to the prevailing local conditions. When driving up and 

down steep hills as well as across hills avoid sudden cornering.

Ensure adequate steering and braking performance.

Single and tandem axle vehicles with tongue load are in danger of tipping over if they have 

been unevenly loaded, especially during hitching or in uncoupled condition. Ensure sufficient 

tongue load!

Please take care during driving and unloading on the stack that the vehicle is kept stable 

(danger of tipping over).

When driving over stacks with soft sides keep to the middle as the danger of tipping over is 

particularly high. Take care to stay at a safe distance from anyone in the vicinity!

Lock the steering axle when driving across slopes and over stacks.

This is recommended for driving on public roads.

If the steering axle is not locked, cornering at high speeds is not permitted.
