1 Introduction 1.1 General Information 67077 Towing a trailer A trailer for front attachments may be towed in accord- ance with the permissible trailed load. If a trailer is towed behind the machine, then the cable for the entire lighting system must be connected and the good condition of the lighting system assured. In addition, particular care should be taken to properly latch the trailer hitch. The towing of other trailers in the trailer hitch is not permitted in self-propelled combine harvesters when driving on public streets.
Licence plates All CLAAS self-propelled working machines must be marked with 3 speed signs at the longitudinal sides and at the rear according to § 58 of the German Regu- lations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic. As a self-propelled working machine with a maximum speed of up to 20 km/h , the machine is only subject to the operating permit. No official licence plate is required. According to § 4 FZV however, the machine must be permanently fitted with the first and last name and the place of residence (company and headquarters) of the vehicle owner on the left side which must be clearly legible.
As a self propelled working machine with an allowed maximum speed of above 20 km/h , the machine is subject to having an operating permit and to having licence plates fitted. The need of having licence plates fitted involved regu- lar vehicle inspections by a technical inspection agency (TUEV, DEKRA). Warning beacons When driving on public roads and lanes, the amber warning beacons may be operated only if this is expressly specified in the individual operating permit or in the special approval (e.g. in case of excess-width vehicles). Work lights Always switch off the work lights when driving on pub- lic roads and lanes.
Folding front attachments The subsequent fitting of folding front attachments will void the individual operating permit of the machine and its special approval. 20 00 0293 210 2 - BA DOMINATOR 150/140/130 - 12/09
