Road transport
Machine with hydraulic safety breakaway
From the tractor seat:
> Use the hydraulic cylinder to lift and swing the machine into vertical
transport position behind the tractor
> Close the valve at the hydraulic cylinder and at the hydraulic safety
breakaway
> Use the 3-point hitch to lift the machine to the desired transport
height
Checking the ma-
chine
Check the machine before road transport by means of the checklist:
• Machine is fully lifted?
• Tractor hydraulic is switched off?
• Pto is switched off?
• All valves are closed?
• Crop residues and heavy dirt are removed?
• Cables and lines are placed in that way they will not tension or get
in touch with the tractor rear tyres during curve driving?
Road transport
• Before starting driving, check the close environment. Always take
care of a clear view and especially at children in the working envi-
ronment of the machine.
• Lock hydraulic valves of the tractor before road transport
• Do not transport any persons or objects at the machine
• Adapt the drive speed to the road conditions
• Do not exceed the maximum speed of 40 km/h. Obey the national
and local speed limits.
• Pay attention to sufficient driving and braking capacity. Then driv-
ing and braking capacity are influenced by the attached machine
(longer braking paths because of larger propulsion).
