Machine transportation
Comply with the national road traffic regulations when using pub-
lic highways.
Before moving off, check:
the correct connection of the supply lines
the lighting system for damage, function and cleanliness
the brake and hydraulic system for visible damage
that the parking brake is completely disengaged
the function of the brake system
Ensure that the tractor has sufficient steering and braking power.
Any machines and front/rear weights connected to the tractor in-
fluence the driving behaviour and the steering and braking power
of the tractor.
If necessary, use front weights.
The front tractor axle must always be loaded with at least 20% of
the tractor empty weight, in order to ensure sufficient steering
power.
Always fix the front or rear weights to the intended fixing points
according to regulations.
Comply with the maximum load for the connected machine and
the approved axle and drawbar loads for the tractor.
The tractor must guarantee the prescribed brake delay for the
loaded vehicle combination (tractor plus connected machine).
Check the brake power before moving off.
When turning corners with the machine connected, take the
broad load and balance weight of the machine into account.
If the machine is fixed to the tractor's three-point linkage or lower
links, before moving off, ensure sufficient side locking of the trac-
tor lower links.
Before moving off, move all the swivellable machine parts to the
transport position.
Before moving off, secure all swivellable machine parts in the
transport position against dangerous position changes. Use the
transport safety catches intended for this.
Before moving off, secure the operating lever of the three-point
hydraulic system against the unintentional raising or lowering of
the connected machine.
Check that the transport equipment, e.g. lighting, warning equip-
ment and protective equipment, is correctly mounted on the ma-
chine.
Carry out a visual check that the upper and lower link pins are
firmly fixed with the linchpin against unintentional release.
Adjust your driving speed to the prevailing conditions.
Before driving downhill, switch to a low gear.
Before moving off, always switch off independent wheel braking
(lock the pedals).
