Towing safely

For the maximum permissible load of the hitch, see 'Maximum hitch load' in the Specifications section.
Maintain a suitable speed taking into account the weight of the load towed or carried by the tractor
and the inclination of the surrounding terrain, remembering that the braking distances will be greater
than that of a unloaded tractor. Attached trailers or semi-trailers with or without brakes that exceed the
specified technically permissible maximum authorized weight may cause loss of control of the tractor
unit.
Always take into account the total weight of the attached machine and its load.
When semitrailers are attached to the tractor, remember to switch all controls to neutral position, lock
the parking brake, turn off the engine, engage first gear (for mechanical transmission), and remove
the ignition key before leaving the operator's seat. ALWAYS secure the wheels of the tractor and the
trailer with wedges. The safest and recommended way to transport a damaged tractor is to transport it
on a low-load trailer. Always attach the tractor to the low-load trailer with chains. Before transporting
the tractor on a low-load trailer or on a railway wagon, make sure that the engine cover, door,
openable roof (if available) and windows are closed and securely locked. Never tow the tractor at
a speed higher than 10 km/h. In this case, the operator must remain in the operator's seat to drive and
brake the tractor.
Caution: When a trailers is hitched to the tractor, before you leave the driving seat remember
to put all the controls in neutral, apply the handbrake, switch off the engine, engage first gear (if the
tractor has a mechanical transmission) and remove the key from the starter switch. If the tractor is
not parked on level ground, ALWAYS place chocks under the wheels of both the tractor and the
trailer For further information on safe working procedures, refer to the chapter 'Parking the tractor' in
the safe section of this manual.
