4.6 TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE

When driving on roads, respect the road traffic regulations, exercise caution and prudence.
Listed below are the key guidelines for driving the tractor and trailer combination.
• Before moving off, make sure that there are no bystanders, especially children,
near the trailer or the tractor. Ensure that the driver has sufficient visibility.
• Make sure that the trailer is correctly hitched to the tractor and tractor's hitch is
properly secured.
• Do NOT drive on public roads with the side hinged wall lowered.
• Travelling with the front axle raised is allowed only when the trailer is empty.
• Vertical load borne by the trailer drawbar eye affects the steering of the
agricultural tractor.
• The trailer must not be overloaded, loads must be uniformly distributed so that the
maximum permissible axle 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
conditions, load carried by the trailer, road surface conditions and other relevant
conditions.
• When not connected to the tractor, the trailer must be immobilised using parking
brake and with chocks placed under the wheels. Do NOT leave unsecured trailer.
In the event of machine malfunction, pull over on the hard shoulder avoiding any
risk to other road users and position reflective warning triangle according to traffic
regulations.
• When driving on public roads, the trailer must be marked with a slow-moving
vehicle warning sign attached to the rear wall of load box, if the trailer is the last
vehicle in the group.
• While driving on public roads the trailer must be fitted with a certified or
authorised reflective warning triangle.
