6.8.1 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, partially regulations apply, which are different from those
listed here. 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.
