Transporting
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always raise implement and set transport locks before
transporting from one work site to another and before
traveling on public roadways. The implement can lower if
not secured in the up position with transport locks.
•
Reduce ground speed when turning and leave enough
clearance to avoid making contact with obstacles such as
buildings, trees, fences, etc.
•
Select a safe ground speed that will allow adequate control
of steering and stopping. Never exceed 20 mph (32 km/h)
with attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower
speed.
•
Do not operate and/or travel across inclines where the
tractor and/or implement can rollover. Consult your
tractor’s manual for acceptable inclines the tractor is
capable of traveling across.
•
Transport on public roadways with the tractor’s slow
moving vehicle sign mounted on the back of the implement.
It is possible for the implement to block viewing of the sign
by approaching vehicles if mounted on the tractor.
•
When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass safely. Use hazard
lights, clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that
is visible from the back to warn operators in other vehicles
of your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and
local laws.
•
When implement is wider than the tractor, take care to make
sure it does not make contact with oncoming traffic and
roadside obstructions.
