Safety
Before you transport the implement on the road, please read the follo-
wing safety instructions. Compliance is mandatory and will help you in
avoiding accidents.
Observe transport width
Take heed of the permissible transport widths and, if necessary, put
the implement in transport position and then attach the lighting,
warning device and guard device. The driver and keeper of the vehicle
are liable for any non-compliance with national traffic regulations.
Close the ball valves
Close the ball valves before driving on the road. If the ball valves are
open and there is an operating error in the tractor hydraulics, the im-
plement can drop or swivel into the oncoming traffic. The conse-
quence can be serious accidents.
Clean the implement before travelling on the road

pery road conditions. This can cause accidents with fatal conse-
quences.
