Please note the safety and warning signs in this manual.
2.2. Rules of Driving on Highways
Traffic safety and applicable regulations require that when driving on a public
road, the unit consisting of a tractor and agricultural machine connected to it
must meet the same requirements as the tractor alone.
Warning!
WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS, THE TRACTOR + POWER HARROW UNIT MUST BE
ADDITIONALLY MARKED WITH A TRIANGLE DISTINGUISHING SLOW MOVING VEHICLES (to
be bought in the depot of agricultural machines.)

Lighting devices should be mounted so that both the rear unit lamps and the surface of the
plate, painted in white and red stripes, were directed to the back of the tractor/machine unit,
and the white marking lamps and the white and red surface of the plate – to the front of the
unit. It is necessary to secure the devices in the holders with a standard linchpins, used in
agricultural tractors.
Double-sided panels are allowed, fixed in one holder, in accordance with the above rules.
Remember to connect portable lighting devices to the tractor’s electrical installation.
Warning!
THE USE OF PORTABLE LIGHTING DEVICES WITHOUT WARNING PLATES IS
PROHIBITED
Units with working widths up to 3 m can move on highways under the
condition of installation portable warning plates on the machine, with
oblique white and red stripes, equipped with white front and red rear side
marking lamps (in accordance with PN-R-41001 and PN-R-41002, to be
bought in a machine depot.
Fig. 2-1. Diagram of fixing portable lighting devices
(1-front panel; 2- triangle distinguishing slow moving vehicles; 3-cultivator or seeding
combination unit; 4- rear panel)
Caution!
Use typical protection hardware, such as pins and linchpins to secure the
suspension journals and all bolts included in the agricultural unit.
Use of substitute securing measures, such as: screws, rods or wires is
forbidden, since they can become sheared or fall out during operation or
transport and thus, they may cause damage to the tractor and the
machine, and to jeopardize the safety of other road users.
DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS WITHOUT WARNING SIGNS AND LIGHTING REQUIRED BY
TRAFFIC REGULATIONS MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS!

For transporting the machine mounted on the tractor, it is necessary:
Raise the machine using the hydraulic lift of the tractor three-point linkage (hitch)
so that the clearance under the machine is min 25 cm
Lock the hydraulic control lever in the tractor
Secure the three-point linkage (hitch) with the chain to avoid lowering the
machine
Stiffen the lower links of the tractor so that the machine does not swing
sideways
In addition, when driving with the seeder raised on the lift (coupling), HERMES power
harrow should be:
-place the seeder on the properly adjusted supports (see par. 9.6) and interlock the lift
/coupling/ (see par. 11), in order to prevent the seeder from falling while driving
-travelling with seed material in the seed box is forbidden
Adjust the driving speed to road conditions, however, do not exceed 20 km/h. Driving and
gear shifting can negatively affect the tractor lowering and lifting mechanism and the
machine mounted on it. That’s why you should always leave enough room for manoeuvre
and control the gears.
CAUTION !
It is forbidden to carry passengers or materials on the machine.
When driving with seeder mounted on HERMES 3.0 power cultivator unit on highways,
observe also the rules of transport specified for the transported seeder.
