General

When you travel on the road or on site there are usually local rules and safety regulations for the machine
travel position.
This publication contains recommendations that may help you meet the requirements of these regulations, they
are not necessarily the applied law.
Make sure that before you travel on site, you and your machine comply with all the relevant local laws - it is
your responsibility.
