ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
IMPORTANT: Road traffic regulations may vary
between countries. In case of discrepancies
between the instructions provided by the manu-
facturer and the traffic regulations of the relevant
countries, the traffic regulations of the countries
concerned apply.
In addition to his driving licence, the operator must
always carry the copy of the vehicle type approval
registration issued by the
Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (the Federal Motor Vehicle
Executive). A warning triangle and, on machines
over 4 t permissible total weight, at least one wheel
chock must always be carried on the combine.
When driving on public roads with the combine,
comply with all the requirements stated under letter
C in the copy of the vehicle type approval
registration (§ 18 Section 5 StVZO) issued by the
Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (the Federal Motor Vehicle
Executive).
On machines with exceptional width (width over
the tyres), a vehicle type approval registration for
individual vehicles (single expert opinion) and an
special approval in accordance with § 70, Section 1,
clauses 1 and 2 of the StVZO must be carried
instead of the machine's General Operating Permit.
Furthermore, all the requirements stated in the
vehicle type approval registration for individual
vehicles and in the special approval must be
observed. The issue of a special approval differs
from country to country. The excess width must
be marked in accordance with the regulations for
the marking of road vehicles with excess width
(two marker boards at the front and back, protective
bar, two amber flashing warning beacons).
If any part(s) of the combine is/are subsequently
modified whose condition is/are prescribed or the
operation of which (after being modified) could
represent a hazard to other road users, then the
vehicle type approval registration shall no longer
be valid and application must be made for a new
vehicle type approval registration. In this case the
machine must be presented to the motor vehicle
safety inspection authority responsible (TÜV) in
order to obtain an expert opinion certificate
(§ 19 section 2 STVZO).
If you are in any doubt as to whether this situation
applies in your case, please contact us as manu-
facturers.
If a transport vehicle for front end attachments is
towed behind the combine then the cable for the
lighting system must be connected and the good
condition of the lighting system assured.

If the combine is equipped with a maize picker
head or folding cutterbar, the regulations and
requirements of the machine's General Operating
Permit must be observed, in particular the require-
ments concerning ballast weights and tyres.
Registration
As a self-propelled working machine with a maxi-
mum speed of up to 20 km/h, the combine is not
subject to the normal registration regulations and
is not required to bear a registration plate. The
machine must, however, be clearly and indelibly
marked on the left-hand side with the Christian
name and surname of the owner and his address.
The towing of trailers in the trailer hitch when driving
on public roads is not permitted.
