public roads
Ensure that the machine meets the Road Traffic Act's require-
ments concerning its condition
When driving on public roads, the machine must comply with the Road
Traffic Act's current requirements.
This ensures your safety and that of other road users.
Failure to meet the requirements can result in accidents.
Compliance with the Road Traffic Act's current requirements includes,
for example:
• Mounting of lights, warning and safety equipment.
• Compliance with permitted transport width, weight, axle pressure,
tyre carrying capacity and total weight.
Carrying passengers on the machine is prohibited
It is dangerous and illegal to carry passengers on the machine.
The machine is not approved for personal transportation.
Transporting persons on the machine may result in serious injuries
and death.
Mounted machines will change the driving and braking abilities
of the tractor
Be aware of changed driving and braking abilities when driving with
mounted machines.
Especially when driving in curves and turns you should be aware of
the machine's width and swing length.
If no attention is paid it will result in uncontrolled driving and serious
accidents.
Pay due attention to the tractor's braking ability
The braking ability must not be exceeded for either front mounted or
rear mounted machines.
At least 50% of the vehicle's total weight must rest on the braked
wheel to ensure the tractor's braking ability.
Transgression can result in uncontrolled driving and accidents.
Adjust the speed according to the road conditions
Adjust driving speed according to the conditions on the road.
Bad road conditions and high speeds can lead to an overloading of the
tractor and machine parts.
Driving with high speed can result in accidents and damages on both
machine and tractor.
