Securing the rotors
A maximum of 7 tine supports can be removed from each of the rotors
and stowed for transportation purposes:
The rotor securing device on the rear rotor is held by a spring in the
stowed and secured positions. Align the tine support centrally and se-
cure it using the rotor securing device as follows:
Slew the rotor securing device downwards over the middle tine
support.
Checking the
machine
Prior to driving on the road, check the machine against the check list:
PTO shaft drive off?
Rotor in transport position?
Deflector bar folded?
Tine supports in the transport holder and secured?
Tyre pressures correct?
Lower link secured at the sides?
Crop residue and dirt removed?
Lighting cables routed so that they are not strained and cannot
become caught in the tractor's wheels when cornering?
Lighting equipment in good working order?

Securing the rotors
Secure the rear rotor before transportation. Unsecured rotors may
turn and tine supports can cause accidents with serious injuries.
Follow the instructions below for road transport. There is
otherwise the risk of traffic accidents and accidents with fatal
consequences.
Before pulling away, check the immediate vicinity. Always
make sure that you have a clear field of vision and, in
particular, look out for children within the operating area of the
machine.
When the vehicle is in motion, lock the control devices on
tractor.
Do not transport people or objects on the machine.
Adjust your speed to road conditions.
Do not exceed a maximum speed of 50 km/h. Comply with the
national speed limits.
Ensure sufficient steering and braking capability. Driving
characteristics, steering, and braking capability are all
influenced if the machine is coupled (increased braking
distance as a result of greater inertia).
There is a danger of tipping on slopes and if corners are taken
too fast. Ensure that you drive in a careful manner, which is
adapted to the road conditions.
