Rules for transporting the cultivator on public roads and lighting
the machine
In accordance with the road safety regulations (Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure
of 31.12.2002. Journal of Laws No. 32 of 2002, item 262) - the unit consisting of the
agricultural tractor and the agricultural machine coupled with it must meet requirements
identical to those imposed on the tractor itself
.
The units should be equipped with:
- triangular plate to distinguish slow-moving vehicles,
- two forward-facing plates having a white position light and a white retro-reflector,
- two rear-facing plates having a combination light and a red reflector. The plates should
be painted with diagonal white and red stripes.
Once the plates have been fixed, the electrical wires of the warning-light device should
be connected to the socket of the tractor's electrical installation.
The manufacturer does not supply warning signs as standard equipment on the machine.
Warning signs are available commercially.
Driving style should always be adapted to the road conditions - this will help avoid
accidents and damage to the chassis. Consider your own skills and the intensity of the
movement, the prevailing visibility and the weather.
NOTE!
The unit as a part of the vehicle protruding beyond the rear side contour of
the tractor obscuring the rear lights of the tractor poses a danger to other vehicles on the
road. Remember to follow the transport recommendations in the chapter: 3 "General
safety rules". It is forbidden to travel on public roads without appropriate markings.
