and/or tractor and may limit braking efficiency of the tractor-mixer feeder
combination.
• Before moving check that the mixer feeder is correctly hitched to the tractor (in
particular check security of hitching pin).
• Vertical load borne by the mixer feeder's drawbar eye affects the steering of the
agricultural tractor.
• The machine must NOT be left unsecured. The mixer feeder unhitched from the
tractor must be secured against rolling away by means of parking brake and
wheel chocks placed under the wheel - figure (2.1). The wheel chocks should be
placed under one axle, in front and behind the wheel.
• Do NOT climb the mixer feeder while travelling.
• Do NOT park the mixer feeder on a slope.

2.1.8 TYRES

• When working with tyres, the mixer feeder should be secured against rolling by
placing chocks under the wheels. Wheels can be taken off the machine axle only
when the machine is not loaded.
• Repair work on the wheels or tyres should be carried out by persons trained and
entitled to do so. This work should be carried out using appropriate tools.
• Inspect tightness of nuts after the first use of the mixer feeder, after the first day of
work under load and then every 6 months of use. The inspection should be
repeated individually if a mixer feeder wheel has been removed from the wheel
axle.
• Avoid potholes, sudden manoeuvres or high speeds when turning.
• Check the tyre pressure regularly. Air pressure in tyres should be also checked
during the whole day of intensive work. Please note that higher temperatures
could raise tyre pressure by as much as 1 bar. At high temperatures and
pressure, reduce load or speed. Do not release air from warm tyres to adjust the
pressure or the tyres will be underinflated when temperatures return to normal.
• Protect tyre valves using suitable caps to avoid soiling.
