6. Lighting devices on single-axle tractors
Distinction must be made here as to whether the single-axis tractor
•
is guided by a pedestrian via the steering shafts or,
•
is driven from a sulky (single-track trailer) or
•
is driven from a trailer.
In the dark, or when necessitated by the weather, single-axle tractors guided by pedestrians via
the steering shafts require at least a single, non-dazzling lamp with a white light, which must
be affixed to the left-hand side (UK: right-hand side) or carried by hand so that its light is clearly visible to oncoming traffic (from the front) or overtaking traffic (from the rear) (Article 50,
paragraph 2, German Highway Code and Article 17, paragraph 5, German Highway Code).
If a single-axle tractor with a trailer is transported on a public road, no operating permit is required up to a design-related top speed of 6 km/h. The name and place of residence of the keeper
of the vehicle must be displayed by a sign on the trailer. A driving licence is not required, however. The driver of the vehicle must be qualified to drive it. Lighting devices etc. must be present.

•
The driving speed must always be adapted to the environmental and load conditions. Avoid
sudden turns when driving up, down or across a slope. Never disengage the clutch and/or
shift gear on slopes.
•
Couple trailers and attached devices according to the regulations. The driving, steering,
braking capability and tipping behaviour will be affected by attached devices. Therefore
make sure that steering and braking capabilities are sufficient and adapt your working speed
to the respective environmental conditions!
•
Persons fitted with a cardiac pacemaker must not touch electrically conducting parts of the
ignition system when the engine is running.
•
Before starting to drive, check the brakes and their function.
•
Remove objects from the work area (e.g. planks, cables, stones etc.).
•
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts during operation.
•
Ensure that the work area is sufficiently well illuminated.
•
Drive at a right angle to the slope, never up or down the slope!
•
Never disengage the clutch and/or shift gear on slopes.
•
Never leave the operator position during work.
•
Do not alter or repair supporting and safety-relevant parts (frame, axles etc.).
•
In the case of damage to the appliance, switch it off immediately. Remove the spark plug
cap and have the damage repaired!
•
If the appliance is to be used for mowing crops that are classified as foodstuffs, parts which
come into contact with the foodstuffs must not be lubricated with machine oil or grease or
protected against rust.
•
Avoid sudden turns when driving up, down or across a slope.
•
Driving downhill in neutral is forbidden! The appliance could roll away under its own
weight.
•
If there is a danger of slipping on a sloping terrain, an accompanying person must hold the
2-wheel tractor with a rod or a rope. The accompanying person must remain above the
vehicle at a safe distance from the working tools.
11. General safety instructions
