2.4.14 Road safety
Dangers for road travel
If the machine exceeds the maximum dimensions and weights specified by national law and is
not correctly lit when travelling on public roads, other road users may be endangered.
Before driving on roads, ensure that the maximum permitted dimensions, weights and axle,
drawbar and trailer loads are not exceeded which apply to driving on public roads according
to national law.
Before driving on roads, switch on the road travel lighting and ensure that it functions
properly.
Before driving on roads, close all stop cocks for the hydraulic supply to the machine
between tractor and machine.
Before driving on roads, move the tractor control units to the neutral position and lock them.
Danger when driving on road and field
Hitched and mounted machines change the handling characteristics of the tractor. The handling
characteristics depend for instance on operating state and ground. If changed handling
characteristics are not considered, the driver may cause accidents.
Observe measures for driving on road and field,refer to page50.
Danger due to machine which is not prepared properly for road travel
If the machine is not prepared properly for road travel, serious accidents may occur on the
roads.
Before driving on roads, prepare the machine for road travel,refer to page51.
Danger when cornering with mounted machine
When cornering, the tractor with mounted machine has a larger swivelling range. This may
result in accidents.
Consider the larger swivel range.
Consider people, oncoming traffic and obstacles when turning.
Dangers when operating the machine on slopes
The machine may tilt when it is used on slopes. As a result, accidents may occur and people
may be seriously injured or killed.
Do not work and drive on a slope unless the ground of the slope is flat and the adhesion of
the tyres to the ground is ensured.
Turn the machine at low speed. Turn in a large arc.
Avoid driving across a slope because the centre of gravity of the machine will be changed
by payload and by executing machine functions.
Avoid abrupt steering movements on slopes.
Do not move the machine from working position to transport position or from transport
position to working position as long as the machine is used across a slope.
Do not park the machine on slopes.
