Do not drive over 25 km/h (15 mph). Drive slower if road conditions are poor, especially on
irregular surfaces or steep slopes.
The behavior of the tractor on the road, such as its turning and braking capacities, are affected
by the implements mounted.
When driving on the road after work, check to make sure that the tires and soil working tools
are clean to prevent the road surface from becoming dirty.
Make sure that the machine is not damaged during transport.
4.4.1. Putting the tedder onto another vehicle for transport
The driver and the carrier are responsible for the tedder’s transport safety. Equipment and
parts must be secured during transport.
To put the tedder onto another vehicle in a safe way, please obey the following rules:
Transport should be done by qualified and specifically trained personnel,
Grab the tedder by any lifting devices only in places indicated by hook sign,
For tedder lifting, use only lifting devices with hoisting capacity larger than tedder’s weight
shown in data plate. This also applies to ropes and chains used for lifting,
Do not lift if transport belts, belt suspensions, ropes are damaged. Whenever damage to these
parts occurs, replace with new ones,
When mounting slings, chains, handles etc., always set the machine's center of gravity properly
(
Fig. 8
),
To safely support the machine, use ropes of adequate length so that the angle between them is
no greater than 120°, and the angle between the strand and the vertical is no greater than 60°,
Lift the machine with the utmost caution and move it slowly,
No one should be within the range of action of the lifting equipment when any transporting
operations are being carried out.
Collapsible parts should be blocked in transport position,
When the tedder is on the vehicle’s trailer, the machine should be secured against moving.
NOTICE:
Securing maneuvering area and transport of the tedder is the responsibility of a person who
does it.
