4.2.9 Precautions when driving
- Tractor handling, stability, performance and
braking efficiency are all affected by weight
distribution, trailed or mounted implements,
additional ballast and driving conditions. It is
therefore of great importance that the operator
exercises caution in every given situation.
- Groundspeed must be adapted to ground
conditions as well as to roads and paths. Always
avoid abrupt changes of direction.
- Be particularly cautious when turning corners,
paying attention to machine overhang, length,
height and weight.
- Never use a narrow track tractor on very uneven or
steeply sloping ground.
- Never leave the tractor seat while the machine is
operating.
- Carrying people or animals on the machine when
working or in transport is strictly forbidden.
4.2.10 Precautions when driving on public
roads
Dimensions
- Depending on the dimensions of the machine,
contact the relevant authorities to ensure that it
can be legally transported on public roads.
- If the machine is over the maximum legal size,
follow the local regulations for special
transportation of oversize equipment.
Gross weight and weight per axle
- Respect the tractor gross weight, its lift capacity
or the permissible maximum load on the
attachment and the maximum load per axle.
- The front axle load (1) must never, under any
circumstances, be less than 20% of the tractor's
unladen weight. If necessary, add ballast weights
to the front or to the rear to preserve the steering
and braking efficiency.
- Do not exceed the gross machine weight rating or
the maximum machine axle load allowed.
