Checking the
machine
Check the machine before road transport by means of the checklist:
•
Machine is fully folded?
•
Tractor hydraulic is switched off?
•
Crop residues and heavy dirt are removed?
•
Cables and hoses are placed in that way they will not tension or get
in touch with the tractor rear tyres during curve driving?
Road transport
•
Before starting driving, check the close environment. Always take
care of a clear view and especially at children in the working
environment of the machine.
•
Lock hydraulic valves of the tractor before road transport
•
Do not transport any persons or objects at the machine
•
Adapt the drive speed to the road conditions
•
Do not exceed the maximum drive speed. Obey the national and
local speed limits.
•
Pay attention to sufficient driving and braking capacity. Then
driving and braking capacity are influenced by the attached
machine (longer braking paths because of larger propulsion).
