TRANSPORT AND WORKING POSITION
Driving on public roads
• Observe the official regulations of your country.
• Travelling on open roads may only be carried out as
described in chapter "Transport position".
•Close all hydraulic circuits (A).
• Protection devices must be in proper
condition.
• Beforetravellingbringallswivellingpartsintotheir correct
positions and secure against dangerous changes to
position.
• Check that lighting functions before travelling.
• Important information can also be found in the
supplement of this operating manual.
Hydraulic lower link
- Fix the hydraulic lower link (U) in such a way that the
machine cannot swing out sideways.
Take care when turning on slopes!
Take care!
The tractor's travelling characteristics are
influenced by the weight (G) of the rotor
unit. This can lead to dangerous situations,
especially on slopes.
Danger of tipping occurs
• when the rotor units are in a raised position
• when travelling in a curve with the rotor units raised
Safety advice
• Reduce speed in curves accordingly.
• It is better to travel in reverse on a slope than
to carry out a risky turning manoeuvre.
