WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with hot parts of the exhaust system or
exhaust gas flow. There is a risk of fire.
Park the vehicle so that no flammable mate-
rial can come into contact with hot vehicle
components. In particular, do not park on
dry grassland or harvested grain fields.

WARNING
The parking brake may not be sufficient to
secure the vehicle on uphill and downhill
gradients. A loaded vehicle or a vehicle with
trailer/semitrailer may roll away. There is a
risk of an accident.
In the control position, check whether the
parking brake alone can hold the entire vehi-
cle. The tractor unit and trailer/semitrailer
should normally be secured using the park-
ing brake and wheel chocks.
