SECTION 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
1–9
Travelling on public roads
1. Make sure the safety-on-the-road tumbler switch
is in ROAD position.
2. Always observe the local regulations. Should the
width of the attachment be wider than the
permitted road width, contact the local authorities
for assistance.
3. Observe traffic regulations, adapt your speed to
road and traffic conditions and ensure all lights
are working properly.
4. Where required by local traffic regulations,
ensure the hazard warning plates are fitted at the
front and the rear of the machine.
5. Use the revolving flash lights to indicate the
vehicle has abnormal size and is slow-moving.
6. Never drive on public roads with the operating
lights and spotlight switched on.
7. Dip the headlights when meeting a vehicle at
night. Make sure the lights are adjusted to
prevent blinding the driver of an oncoming
vehicle.
8. Avoid taking corners at high speed.
9. Before travelling on the road, link the brake
pedals together with the coupling provided.
Braking with the pedals uncoupled may cause the
machine to swerve.
Also, avoid excessive use of the brakes.
10. Always depress the brake pedal gently to avoid
tipping of the machine.
CAUTION
Before driving on the road with a header attached
smaller than 4 meter (foldable grain header or flip-up
maize header), the following actions must be taken:
Contact your local dealer.
• Counterweights
• Additional headligths
• Brake force limiter valve
11. Never rest your feet on the brake pedals when the
machine is in motion.
12. When manoeuvring the machine off the field,
always raise the attachment fully to avoid contact
with obstructions.
13. The grain tank must be empty when driving on the
road. Ensure that the unloading tube is locked in
its closed position.
14. When driving on public roads, either with the grain
header loaded on a trailer and attached to the rear
of the combine, or with the grain header still
attached to the combine (provided local
legislation allows), the knife should be
safeguarded by means of a knife guard, available
as an accessory (refer to the Grain Header
Operator’s Manual).
15. When driving on public roads, either with the grain
header loaded on a trailer and attached to the rear
of the combine, or with the grain header still at-
tached to the combine (provided local legislation
allows), always be aware and conscious of its
size.
