BEFORE operating the harvester on public roads,
some precautions must be taken:
• Know and observe the traffic rules relevant to
your machine.
• Lock the brake pedals with the locking device.
• Lift the cropping platform to the transportation
position and lock it in this position
• Turn OFF the threshing system and the
cropping platform.
• Make sure all the hazard warning lamps are in
place and working.
• Clean all the front and rear traffic lamp and
reflectors and make sure they are working
properly.
• Make sure both the harvester is equipped with
safety triangles for slow vehicles and other
marking materials to improve the visibility on
the road, if the law requires (Fig. 14).
Use the hazard flasher when driving on roads,
day and night, except when forbidden by law.
• Take care when transporting equipment on
slippery roads or covered with snow or ice.
• Wait till the vehicle traffic stops to enter the
road.
• Take care with intersections or crossroads
because they impair the visibility. Reduce the
speed till you have a good road visibility.
• DO NOT try to surpass other vehicles in
intersections or crossroads.
• Reduce the speed in curves.
• Make the maneuvers and open curves slowly.
• Use signals when you intend to reduce the
speed, stop or turn.
• Shift the gear down before going up or down
sloping terrains.
• Keep the harvester engaged. DO NOT go
down hill with the clutch disengaged and the
transmission in neutral.
• Do not disturb the traffic of vehicles by being
on the way.
• Drive in the correct lane; keep as close as
possible to the curb.
• Drive defensively. You must be able to foresee
what the other drivers are going to do.
• Be careful with obstacles such as trees, etc.
