Driving on the road

Trip ropes must hang loose
Trip ropes for quick-release couplings must hang loose and must not,
when in their lowered position, release the couplings of their own ac-
cord. If they accidentally come free, they can cause serious accidents.
Remove debris
Remove debris, stones, and clods of earth. During road transport,
such foreign objects can come loose and cause accidents.
Check locking devices
Make sure that all locking devices are firmly attached. Loose locking
devices can detach during the journey resulting in undesired reactions
on the machine. This can cause accidents or damage to the machine.
Attach lighting equipment
Attach the lighting equipment or warning signs. All indicators and side
lights must be clearly visible. Secure the lighting cables so that they
are not subject to tension when the vehicle goes around corners and
do not come into contact with the tractor tyres. Indicators and side li-
ghts that are not visible can cause accidents.
Preparations for road

pled to the tractor.
