handling of the machine must be adapted
to existing terrain and ground conditions. Take
particular care when operating or turning on a
slope and with a full grain tank. Never take the
transmission out of gear when driving on a slope
or on uneven terrain!
• The grain tank must be empty when driving
on public roads and lanes.

safety switch must be switched off.
• Before driving the machine and before starting
fieldwork adjust the mirrors to give full view of the
road or lane and working area behind.
• Be particularly careful when crossing level cross-
ings. When a level crossing cannot be crossed
quickly and without stopping due to road traffic or
an obstacle, stop in front of the St. Andrew's
cross. In all other cases, cross a level crossing
without stopping and standstill.
