Avoid any sudden increase or reduction (braking) in the driving speed.
Avoid tight turns at high driving speed.
Stop the tractor.
Apply the parking brake and make sure that the parking brake symbol
shows on the instrument panel.
If possible, stop and lower the implements.
Check that the tractor is safe for driving on the road.
Lock the brake pedals together with a pin.
Adjust the rear view mirrors to give the correct viewing angle.
Lock the check links with pins when transporting implements using three-
point linkage.
WARNING: Do not transport anything on the auxiliary hydraulic
valves while driving on the road. The load, trailer link steering and
such have to be locked (for example mechanically).
Use the slow moving vehicle emblem on the rear end of the tractor if
allowed by law.
