Driving on roads
⚠
WARNING
Serious risk of accidents and injury due to loads falling down!
When driving on roads, serious accidents and injuries can be inflicted on other road users due to loads
falling down.
Only drive on roads without a load.
⚠
WARNING
Possible risk of accident and injury due to accidental movement of the front loader!
Accidental actuation of the front loader while driving on roads can cause accidents and personal injury.
Lock the operating lever or hydraulic system of the front loader when driving on roads.
⚠
WARNING
Possible risk of injury due to uncontrolled movement of the front loader!
If the control unit was not actuated for a longer period of time, there may be e.g. temperature differences
between the hydraulic fluid and the control unit. This can cause the control valves to jam and the front
loader moves uncontrollably. This may result in serious accidents.
At ambient temperatures lower than 10 °C and when the front loader is not used for longer than
15 minutes, always first actuate the
scooping
and
dumping
functions at a standstill to warm up the
control unit.
Only use the
lifting
and
lowering
functions after the warm-up phase.
⚠
WARNING
Risk of accident due to raised front loader!
When driving on roads, the tractor with the raised front loader can tip over and cause serious accidents.
Always use sufficient counterweights at the rear of the tractor.
Do not drive faster than 25 km/h.
Pay attention to changes in the dimensions of the machine.
Pay attention to the clearance height, e.g. under bridges, power lines and trees.
Take extra care on bends.
Pay attention to the longer braking path.
If necessary, let somebody else guide you at blind spots.
When driving on roads, the tractor with a mounted front loader may only be driven by people who have
the necessary driving license and knowledge of the traffic regulations.
Also to be observed:
Dismount the implement at a distance of more than 3.5 m between the steering wheel and the front
edge of the implement.
If possible, raise the front loader such that the top edge of the implements does not exceed a height
of 4 m and the bottom edge of the implements begins at least 2 m above the road surface.
Activate the road operating lock (see
6.7.1 Activating and deactivating the road operation lock
).
If equipped, activate Comfort Drive (see
Observe the applicable national traffic regulations.
