17.12 Preparations for road travel
Prepare the machine for road travel:
• The machine has been shut down and secured.
• Soiling and crop residue have been removed from the machine, in particular from the
lighting and identification elements.
• When using an approved header, swivel the lifting unit with the header into the transport
position, see chapter Driving and transportation, "Swivelling header into transport position".
• If a header for maize mode has been front-mounted: mount the guards and lighting on the
header, see the operating instructions for the header.
• If a direct cut header is front-mounted: Set down the direct cut header on the transport
wagon, hitch the transport wagon and swivel the intake into the transport position using the
lifting unit.
• If no header is front-mounted: Swivel the intake into the transport position using the lifting
unit.
• Ensure that the spout is in the transport position, see chapter Driving and transportation,
"Swivelling spout into transport position".
• Ensure that the wheel chocks have been removed from the wheels and attached to the
supports / holders on the machine.
• Ensure that the area around the machine can be seen; if required adjust the inner, outer
and anti-collision mirrors.
• Ensure that there is no warning message on the display.
• Set the road/field release switch to the "Road travel" position.
