• Before road travel, ensure that the maximum permitted dimensions, weights and axle loads,
supported loads and hitching loads which apply according to national law for driving on
public roads are not exceeded.
• Before road travel, switch on lighting and ensure the proper function.
Dangers when driving on road and field
The hitched transport wagon changes the handling characteristics of the forage harvester. The
handling characteristics also depend on the operating state and ground. If the driver of the
forage harvester does not consider changed handling characteristics, accidents may be caused.
• Follow procedures for driving on roads and in fields, refer to chapter “Driving and
Transport”.
Dangers if machine is not prepared properly for road travel
If the machine is not prepared properly for road travel, serious accidents may occur with traffic.
• Before driving on roads, prepare the machine for road travel, refer to chapter Driving and
Transport, “Preparations for Road Travel”.
Dangers when cornering with pulled trailer
When cornering, the trailer swivels out stronger than the self-propelled machine.
This may result in accidents.
• Consider the larger swivel range.
• Note persons, oncoming traffic and obstacles when performing a turn.
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 loading weight and by executing machine functions.
• Avoid jerky steering movements on a slope.
