The machine must be fully and correctly coupled.
The permitted maximum speed must not be exceeded.
It is not permitted to transport persons on the machine.
The roadworthiness of the machine
– particularly the lighting, tyres, closed

– must be checked before travelling on public roads.
Before moving off, ensure that perfect visibility exists on and around the
towing vehicle and of the machine itself.

All safety devices are locked and secured
-
The tyres are free of cuts and cracks and have the correct tyre pressure
-
The machine is free of harvest residue, dirt and debris
