6.9 Road traffic
6.9.1 General
The machine is regarded to be a self-propelled processing machine within the territory
of the European Union. This type of vehicle is subject to very specific regulations and
conditions which may differ between countries. Differences are also possible within
a country in the individual conditions established by the respective competent road
traffic authorities. Upon individual request, the machine may also be registered as a
motor vehicle. In this case, regulations which are different from those listed here apply
in certain cases.
In any case, the operator must make sure that the machine is furnished with the
regionally required equipment and aids for securing, e.g. warning triangle, warning
lights, etc. and that these devices are always carried in functional condition.
ADVICE
ROPA expressly wants to point out that the driver and owner of the machine are
always alone responsible for compliance with the respective regulations and condi-
tions of the competent road traffic authorities.
The following generally applies before driving on public roads in the territory of
the Federal Republic of Germany:
– The recleaner must be folded to transport position and then the truck conveyor
must be laid down in transport position.
– The counterweight arm must be folded in to the central vehicle axis and locked.
– The counterweight must be folded down as far as it will go.
– The swivel arm must be locked in position.
– The cabin must be lowered as far as it will go.
– The pickup must be raised as far as it will go.
– The fold plates must be swung down, the support feet must be raised as far as they
will go and the two clearing shields must be swung in as far as they will go.
– The two pickup side sections must be swung in as far as they will go.
– The pile pickup must be swung into central position, set to horizontal position and
retracted as far as the central mark.
– The residual beet pickup must be turned crosswise with respect to the driving
direction.
– The oscillating axle support must be switched off.
– Switch to operating mode "Rabbit II".
– The driver's seat must be locked in driving direction.
– The wheels of the rear axle must be aligned in straight position.
– Rear axle steering must be locked (lock main steering switch).
– All working floodlights must be switched off.
– The auxiliary steps on the fuel tank must be swung up and locked.
– The operational and road safety of the vehicle, in particular those involving steering
and lighting, must be checked and, if necessary, measures taken to reestablish this
safety.
– The additional axles must be lowered in order to drive on public roads and paths.
Always ensure that nobody stays in the area of the additional axles BEFORE low-
ering the additional axles!
