Transporting the Sprayer
WARNING: Do not drive windrower
on a road or highway at night, or in
conditions which reduce visibility,
such as fog or rain. The width of the
sprayer in the transport position may not be
apparent under these conditions.
WARNING: Avoid driving the tractor
with sprayer removed. Removing the
sprayer decreases the weight on the
drive wheels, reducing steering
control. If necessary to drive tractor with
header removed, use transmission low speed
range, do not exceed half maximum engine
speed and avoid loose gravel and slopes.
CAUTION:
1. Check local laws for width
regulations and lighting or marking
requirements before transporting on
roads.

3. For road speeds, move speed-range
control to road position (handle forward).
Remember steering is more sensitive in
this speed range.

sure flashing amber lamps, red tail lamp
and head lamps are clean and work
properly. Turn light switch to ROAD
position to activate these lamps. Always
use these lamps on roads to provide
warning to other vehicles.
5. Do not use field lamps on roads, other
drivers may be confused by them.
6. Before driving windrower on roadway,
clean all reflective surfaces and slow
moving vehicle emblem at rear of machine.
Adjust rear view mirror and clean windows.
7. Transport sprayer with booms on the
transport cradles.
8. When traveling down hill, reduce speed.

control and machine stability are
maintained at all times.
