Driving on the road
149
Preparing the
machine to be
transported
Before travelling on a public road with your tractor and machine, you
should do the following:
Check whether tractor and machine are roadworthy.
Check that the lights, warning indicators, protectors and brakes are
attached properly and are working.
Check the run of the quick coupling ropes of the power lift.
Fit extra lighting and warning signs, if necessary.
Check all folding parts and their locking devices:
•
hopper cover,
•
TrimFlow
•
border spreading plate.
Set all parts of the machine and the tractor, especially the PTO
shaft, the hydraulics, the wheels and the electric system, to trans-
port mode.
Check the weight distribution between front and rear axles.
Mount front weights, if necessary.
Check the headroom of the combination.
Lower the power lift, if necessary.
Lock the control lever of the power lift while moving so that the
mounted machine is not lowered by accident.
Check if the lights are in good working order.
Check whether the dosing units are closed.
Switch the control box off.
Remove dirt that could fall off while on the road. A dirty road could
be hazardous for other drivers.
Ensure that parts such as ropes, hoses, etc. for remote actuation
of cylinders, for example, are positioned in such a way they can
never be activated or locked inadvertently!
Always ensure adequate lateral securing of a mounted machine in
transport position.
