SECTION 4

4.7 TRANSPORTING LOADS

When driving on public or private roads, respect the road traffic regulations, exercise caution
and prudence. Comply with this Operator's Manual and pay particular attention to the below
guidelines for driving the tractor with the trailer hitched.
• Before moving off make sure that there are no bystanders, especially children,
near the trailer or the tractor. Take care that the driver has sufficient visibility.
• Make sure that the trailer is correctly attached to the tractor and tractor's hitch is
properly secured.
• Vertical load borne by the trailer drawbar eye affects the steering of the
agricultural tractor.
• The use of slidable telescopic hook frame makes it possible to change the
location of centre of gravity of transported load box, which increases or decreases
the load applied to the tractor's rear wheels.
• When driving with trailer, the trailer's rear fender must not be in folded position
(indicator light (4) must not be ON– figure (4.7)).
• When transporting the trailer with loaded load box on public roads, the maximum
distance between the rear fender (underrun protection device) and the rearmost
point of the vehicle (load box) should not exceed 400mm.
• While transporting the load box, the trailer must be set to "tipper"
function".(indicator light (9) is ON - figure (4.7)).
• While transporting the load box, the hydraulic load box interlock should be locked
(indicator light (16) is ON - figure (4.7)) in order to protect the load box against
shifting and shaking during transport on the trailer.
• The trailer must not be overloaded, loads must be uniformly distributed so that the
maximum permissible trailer axle and hitch loads are not exceeded. The trailer's
maximum carrying capacity must not be exceeded as this can damage the trailer
and pose a risk to the operator or other road users.
• Permissible design speed and maximum speed allowed by road traffic law must
not be exceeded. The towing speed should be adapted to the current road
