Checking the

Prior to driving on the road, check the machine against the check list:
PTO shaft drive off?
Deflector bar folded?
Tine supports in the transport holder and secured?
Tyre pressures correct?
Lower link secured at the sides?

Lighting cable routed so that it is not strained and cannot become
caught in the tractor's wheels when cornering?
Machine in transport position?

Lighting equipment in good working order?
Road transport
Follow the instructions below for road transport. There is
otherwise the risk of traffic accidents and accidents with fatal
consequences.
Before pulling away, check the immediate vicinity. Always
make sure that you have a clear field of vision and, in
particular, look out for children within the operating area of the
machine.
When the vehicle is in motion, lock the control devices on
tractor.
Do not transport people or objects on the machine.
Adjust your speed to road conditions.
Do not exceed a maximum speed of 50 km/h. Comply with the
national speed limits.
Ensure sufficient steering and braking capability. Driving char-
acteristics, steering, and braking capability are all influenced if
the machine is coupled (increased braking distance as a result
of greater inertia).
There is a danger of tipping on slopes and if corners are taken too
fast.
