Road traffic safety & operation
7.1 Before travelling on any public roadway
The following should be inspected every time, before travelling on a public road:
The mower must be raised fully until latched in the upright position, as shown.
The PTO shaft must be fixed safely to the tractor PTO stub shaft.
The lighting system of the machine must be connected to the tractor and must
be in a fully functioning condition. Ensure that additional lighting is provided if
any of the tractor lights are hidden or obstructed by the machine.
The hydraulic supply must be turned off and protected from accidental
activation.
The leg stands must be raised and secured in the transport position, using the
pins provided.
The machine must be safely cleared of all loose forage. To carry this out,
firstly turn off the tractor and fully isolate the machine by disconnecting all of
the connections to the tractor unit.
Ensure that all the national road traffic regulations relating to the country are
fulfilled i.e. the use of safety chains may be mandatory in certain countries.
Ensure the side guard is latched open to reduce the overall transport height
as shown. The rear lift arms should be lowered approximately 100 mm,
keeping the overall transport height under 4 m, while maintaining sufficient
ground clearance.
Ensure the safety chains on the PTO cover sleeves are attached to both
machine and tractor to prevent them from spinning.
WARNING: Complete a full inspection before travelling on the road
Ensure that a full inspection is completed every time before attempting
to go on to a public roadway, always think and practice safety!
WARNING: Height clearance
The operator must ensure that there is a minimum of 1 m clearance
between the machine and any obstacle above, like low bridges, arches
or tunnels. But in the case of electrical high voltage lines a minimum
clearance of 4 m should be allowed.
