2.11. Precautions for driving on the road
Before driving on the road ...
…
the baling chamber must be completely emptied (in
accordance with Road Traffic Vehicle Registration
Regulations (RTVRR);
…
the baler must be cleared of any harvested crop attached to
it;
…
the universal drive shaft must always be fitted to the tractor
pto shaft;
…
the tubes of the bale ejector* must be pushed in.
…
the lighting equipment of the attached machinery must be
connected to the tractor and its function checked (also in
daylight);
…
the support wheels of the pick-up unit must be detached
(working width 2.25 m) and placed in the park position.
…
the parking brake must be fully released. Otherwise there is
danger of fire by brakes running hot (e. g. in the field).
…
the power supply must be interrupted (pull plug), to prevent
uninterrupted roller lubrication.
Information shall be requested from the manufacturer before the
baler is operated using attached machinery (e.g. bale wrapping
device).
The wheel chocks, which are part of the safety equipment (two
in number), are to be carried on the baler at all times.
The permissible maximum speeds for individual components
(e.g. the drawbar or the axle) do not affect the maximum
permitted speed limit for the entire baler (see Technical Data).
Model-dependent maximum speeds limits have been
exclusively specified in this operating manual. Current relevant
national regulations, which may differ from manufacturers
instructions, are always required to be observed.
