Machine transportation
• Comply with the national road traffic regulations when using
public highways.
• Before moving off, check:
ο The correct connection of the supply lines
ο The lighting system for damage, function and cleanliness
ο The brake and hydraulic system for visible damage
ο That the parking brake is completely disengaged
ο 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
influence 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 empty tractor 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 of the connected machine and
the approved axle and support loads of 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.
• Before moving off, ensure sufficient side locking of the tractor
lower links, when the machine is fixed to the three-point hydrau-
lic system or lower links of the tractor.
• Before moving off, move all the swivel machine parts to the
transport position.
• Before moving off, secure all the swivel machine parts in the
transport position against risky position changes. Use the
transport locks 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
equipment and protective equipment, is correctly mounted on the
machine.
• Before transportation, carry out a visual check
lower link pins are firmly fixed with the lynch pin against uninten-
tional release.
• Adjust your driving speed to the prevailing conditions.
• Before driving downhill, switch to a low gear.
• Before moving off, always switch off the independent wheel
braking (lock the pedals).
