Road travel
Ensuring road safety
The implement must conform to current national traffic regulations if
you intend to drive it on public roads. Ensure:
•
Lighting, warning and protective equipment is installed and
functioning
•
Compliance with the permissible transport widths and weights, ax-
le loads, tyre loadbearing capacities, laden weights and national
speed restrictions.
•
Compliance with the maximum permissible road transport speed of
40 km/h.
If this is not complied with, the driver and keeper of the vehicle are lia-
ble.
Check the tyre pressure
Check tyre pressure on a regular basis. The wrong tyre pressure will
reduce the service life of a tyre and can cause unstable driving proper-
ties and accidents.
Adjusting the load-dependent brake
Before travelling on the road, check that the lever of the implement's
load-dependent brake is adjusted to “Full load”. The braking efficiency
changes. This can cause accidents. The consequence can be traffic
accidents with serious or fatal injuries.
No riding on the implement
Neither personnel nor objects are allowed to be transported on the im-
plement at any time. Riding on the implement is hazardous and strictly
prohibited.
Altered driving and braking performance
The driving and braking performance are altered when the implement
is attached to the tractor. Take the width and balancing weight of the
implement into consideration, especially when cornering. A driving
style which is not adapted to conditions can cause accidents.
Adapted speed
In the event of bad road conditions and excessive speed, very high
forces can occur that subject the tractor and implement material to
high loads or to an overload. Adapt the speed to the road conditions.
A driving style which is not adapted to conditions can cause accidents.
The consequence can be traffic accidents with serious or fatal injuries.
No bales in the bale chamber
Bales must not be transported in the bale chamber. Transporting ba-
les will affect the steering, braking capability and driving behaviour of
the tractor. Personnel may be injured or the implement may be dama-
ged as a result.
