use suitable tools for this purpose. In order to avoid clogging, only fill the hop-
per when the protective grid is mounted.
 Before cleaning the machine with water, steam or other cleaning agents, cover
all components that must not get wet (e.g. bearings, electrical connections).
 Regularly check nuts and screws for their tight seat. Retighten loose connec-
tions.
3.9 Safety in traffic
When driving on public streets and roads, the tractor with the attached machine
must comply with the road traffic regulations of the respective country. The owner
and driver are responsible for compliance with these regulations.
3.9.1 Checks before driving
The pre-departure check is an important contribution to road safety. Before every
trip, check compliance with the operating conditions, traffic safety, and the regu-
lations of the country of operation.
 Is the permissible total weight complied with? Note the permitted axle load,
the permitted braking load, and the permitted tyre load capacity; See also
“Axle load calculation“ on page 41.
 Is the machine attached appropriately?
 Could fertiliser be lost while travelling?
- Check the level of the fertiliser in the hopper.
- The metering slides must be closed.
- The ball valves must also be closed on single-acting hydraulic cylinders.
- Switch off the electronic control unit.
 Check the tyre pressures and the function of the tractor brake system.
 Does the lighting and marking of the machine comply with the regulations of
your country with respect to driving on public roads? Make sure to make the
fittings according to the regulations.
