Before Starting to Drive

When driving on public highways, observe the regulations of the highway code.

Driving Safety Rules

•Drive the tractor only from the driver's station with the cab doors closed.

•Always adjust your speed to the driving conditions and the load you are carrying.

•Never drive downhill without having the tractor in gear or with the engine stopped.

•Before driving, check that no-one is standing in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle.

•The driving behaviour of the tractor is strongly affec- ted by the weight and swing range of the implements, trailers and, if fitted, ballasting. Therefore drive slowly with heavy equipment and take the longer braking distance into consideration.

•When following a curve with a trailer or other attach- ments, don't forget to take the added length and drag into consideration.

DANGER

Parts of implements posing a danger to traffic must be covered before driving or identified with warning signs.

•Switch off the differential lock when travelling along a curve.

•When driving on slopes, drive downhill if possible; if you have to turn, turn only when driving uphill.

•On steep slopes you can improve traction by acti- vating the differential lock.

•Drive across slopes only in accordance with the notes at the end of this chapter.
