Machine transportation
•
When using public highways, national road traffic regulations
must be observed.
•
Before moving off, check:
o
the correct connection of the supply lines
o
the lighting system for damage, function and cleanliness
•
Ensure that the tractor has sufficient steering and braking power.
Any machines and front/rear weights connected to the tractor in-
fluence the driving behaviour and the steering and braking power
of the tractor.
•
If necessary, use front weights.
The front tractor axle must always be loaded with at least 20 %
of the empty tractor weight, in order to ensure sufficient steering
power.
•
Always fix the front or rear weights to the intended fixing points
according to regulations.
•
Comply with the maximum load of the connected machine and
the approved axle and support loads of the tractor.
•
The tractor must guarantee the prescribed brake delay for the
loaded vehicle combination (tractor plus connected machine).
•
Check the brake power before moving off.
•
When turning corners with the machine connected, take the
broad load and balance weight of the machine into account.
•
Before moving off, ensure sufficient side locking of the tractor
lower links, when the machine is fixed to the three-point hydrau-
lic system or lower links of the tractor.
•
Before moving off, move all the swivel machine parts to the
transport position.
•
Before moving off, secure the operating lever of the three-point
hydraulic system against unintentional raising or lowering of the
connected machine.
•
Check that the transport equipment, e.g. lighting, warning
equipment and protective equipment, is correctly mounted on the
machine.
•
Before transportation, carry out a visual check that the upper and
lower link pins are firmly fixed with the lynch pin against uninten-
tional release.
•
Adjust your driving speed to the prevailing conditions.
•
Before driving downhill, switch to a low gear.
•
Before moving off, always switch off the independent wheel
braking (lock the pedals).
