Road transport
Ensure road safety
If you intend to transport the machine on public roads, the machine
and the combination of tractor and machine have to comply to current
Road Traffic Act’s requirements. This to guarantee your own safety
and the safety of other road users.
For example ensure:
•
The license plate, road lighting, warning and protective equipment
is properly installed and functioning.
•
Compliance with the permissible transport dimensions and weights
and axle loads.
•
Compliance with the brake requirements of the tractor-machine
combination.
Failure to meet the Road Traffic Act’s requirements can result in fatal
accidents.
Block all hydraulic valves
To avoid inadvertently activation of machine components, activate all
machanical and/or hydraulic valve locks at the machine. Also lock the
hydraulic valves at the tractor, or disconnect the hydraulic hoses.
Carrying people and objects on the machine is prohibited
Neither persons nor objects are allowed to be transported at the
machine at any time. Only parts stored in their dedicated storage
locations are alllowed to be transported at the machine. Riding on the
machine is hazardous and strictly prohibited.
Altered driving and braking performance
Driving and braking performances will change when the machine is
attached to the tractor. Take the width and balance weight of the
machine into account, especially when cornering. A driving style that
is not adapted to altered conditions can cause accidents.
Adapted speed
In the event of bad road conditions and excessive speed, very high
forces can occur that subject can overload the tractor and machine.
Adapt the driving speed according to the road circumstances to avoid
accidents with serious or fatal injuries.
