Safety in traffic
When driving on public streets and roads, the tractor with the attached machine
must comply with the road traffic regulations of the respective country. The owner
and driver are responsible for compliance with these regulations.
3.9.1
Checks before driving
The pre-departure check is an important contribution to road safety. Before every
trip, check compliance with the operating conditions, traffic safety, and the regu-
lations of the country of operation.
Is the permissible total weight complied with? Note the permitted axle load,
the permitted braking load, and the permitted tyre load capacity;
“Axle load calculation“ on page 33
.
Is the machine attached appropriately?
Could fertiliser be lost while travelling?
-
Check the level of the fertiliser in the hopper.
-
The metering slides must be closed.
-
The ball valves must also be closed on single-acting hydraulic cylinders.
-
Switch off the electronic control unit.
Check the tyre pressures and the function of the tractor brake system.
Does the lighting and marking of the machine comply with the regulations of
your country with respect to driving on public roads? Make sure to make the
fittings according to the regulations.
3.9.2
Transportation drive with the machine
Handling, steering, and braking performance of the tractor are affected by the at-
tached machine. For example, an excessive weight of the machine will reduce the
weight on the tractor's front axle and affect its steering.
Be aware of the changed driving behaviour.
When driving, always ensure that there is sufficient visibility. If vision is re-
stricted (e.g. when reversing), another person is required to direct the driver.
Observe the permissible maximum speed.
Avoid sudden turns when driving uphill or downhill or across a slope. Due to
the changed centre of gravity, there is a danger of overturning. Special care
is to be particularly applied when driving on uneven, soft ground (e.g. when
entering fields, kerbs).
Arrest sideways movement of the lower link of the three-point linkage to pre-
vent the machine from swinging.
Passengers are prohibited on the machine during the drive and operation.
