Make sure that before you travel on the road or on site, you and your machine comply with all the relevant
local laws - it is your responsibility.

In certain territories you will be breaking the law if you do not install a beacon before you travel on site/public
highways - make sure you are complying with local laws.
Be careful when you operate the machine with a beacon. The total height of the machine is increased when
the beacon is in the operating position.
