When driving on roads, the implement must be in transport position,  adequately  raised  
from  the road surface, with tractor lifting hydraulics locked so that the implement cannot 
be lowered accidentally. 

 

  DANGER 

The implement may be wider than the tractor. Pay attention to transporting for people, 
animals, buildings/sheds and/or other obstacles. 

  WARNING 

When turning, use extreme care and reduce tractor speed. 

  WARNING 

Do not operate the tractor with weak or faulty brakes or worn tires. 

  CAUTION 

Always use tractor lighting system and auxiliary lighting system for an adequate warning to 
operators of other vehicles, especially when transporting at night or in conditions of 
reduced visibility. 

  DANGER 

In the case of lifting this implement, make sure that any lifting device is suitable to perform 
the operation safely, and use only the lifting points prescribed on Rotary Hoe.
