for example:
• Mounting of lights, warning and safety equipment.
• Compliance with permitted transport width, weight, axle pressure,
tyre carrying capacity and total weight.

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.
You should be especially aware of the machine's width and length
when driving around bends and turns.
Serious accidents and a loss of driving control may result if this is not
taken into account.
