6.10 Using the safety chain
WARNING!
When using a wrongly dimensioned safety chain, the safety chain may tear if the
machine loosens unintentionally. This can result in serious accidents.
• Always use a safety chain with a minimum tensile strength of 89 kN (20.000 lbf).
Note
Using the safety chain
Attachment of the safety chain is not stipulated in all countries.
The safety chain serves as an additional safety precaution for trailed devices, should they come
loose from the swinging drawbar during transport. Attach the safety chain with the respective
mounting parts to the swinging drawbar holder of the tractor or to another specified coupling
point. The safety chain must have enough play so that driving around curves with maximum
steering angle and simultaneous driving a slope up or down is possible.
