For road transport the machine must be set to transport position. The machine must
have been folded up and secured, see chapter Folding in and Connecting and Trans-
port position.
Ø Clean soil from the folding areas before folding in. Otherwise there could be
damage to the mechanics.
Ø Secure the hydraulic cylinders, if so equipped on undercarriage and drawbar in
transport position against uncontrolled movements using aluminium clips, see
chapter Connecting and Transport Position.
Ø Assemble lighting, warning and protective features and check the function.
Ø Before road travel clean the entire machine from picked up dirt.
Ø Handling is affected by the connected equipment. Pay particular attention to
the wide overhang and the centrifugal mass of the working implement when
cornering.
Ø Raised machines (3-point hydraulics): Consider the limited stability and steering
capability of the tractor.
Ø When transporting along public roads pay attention to the permissible top
speed specified in the type approval.
Ø The specifications in the type approval document or in the technical data are
decisive for the design dependent top speed.
Ø Always match the travel mode to the road conditions to avoid accidents and
damage to the undercarriage.
Ø Consider your personal abilities, carriage way, traffic, sight and weather condi-
tions.
2.7 Safety in operation
The operational safety of the machine cannot be guaranteed without orderly per-
formed commissioning. This can lead to accidents with severe or even fatal physical
injuries.
Ø The machine must only be put into operation after receiving instructions by
employees of the authorized dealer or a HORSCH employee.
All protective features and safety equipment, such as detachable protective devices
(wheel chocks, etc.), must be correctly in place and reliably functioning before the
machine is put into operation.
Ø Check nuts and bolts, especially the ones on wheels and cultivation tools regu-
larly for tight fit and retighten if necessary.
Ø Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals, see maintenance overview.
Damage to the machine can impair the operational safety of the machine and cause
accidents. This can lead to severe or even fatal physical injuries.
The following machine parts are particularly important for safety:
• Hydraulics
• Brakes (if available)
• Connecting features
• Protective features
• Lighting
