Three-Point Linkage
If the sprayer is fixed to the tractor's three-point linkage or lower links, ensure sufficient side locking of the tractor lower links
before driving off.
Before driving off, secure the operating lever of the three-point hydraulic system against the unintentional raising or
lowering of the connected sprayer.
Carry out a visual check that the upper and lower link pins are firmly fixed with linchpins against unintentional release.
Braking and Steering
Braking distance is increased and steering capabilities are influenced, both when the sprayer’s tank is empty and even more
so with a full tank.
Ensure that the tractor has sufficient steering and braking power. If necessary, use front weights to bring the tractor into a
well-balanced and stable position.
Any sprayers and front/rear weights connected to the tractor influence the driving behaviour and the steering and braking
power of the tractor.
The front tractor axle must always be loaded with at least 20% of the tractor’s empty 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 for the connected sprayer and the approved axle and drawbar loads for the tractor.
The tractor must guarantee the prescribed braking distance for the loaded vehicle combination (tractor plus connected
sprayer).
Before driving off, always switch off independent wheel braking on the tractor (e.g. lock the braking pedals together).
When turning corners with the sprayer connected, take the broad load and balance weight of the sprayer into account. Slow
down as needed to avoid tilting or overturning of the vehicle, especially on sloping roads.
