TRANSPORTING
General
Check for traffic constantly. Be sure you can see that no
one is attempting to pass you and that all traffic is
sufficiently clear from you before making any turns.
WARNING
BE SURE THE SLOW MOVING VEHICLE SIGN IS
INSTALLED ON THE REAR OF THE SPREADER FOR
TRANSPORTING ON ROADWAYS. KEEP THIS SIGN
AND ALL REFLECTIVE DECALS CLEAN. FAILURE TO
HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
OR DEATH.
CAUTION
REGULARLY CLEAN OFF THE REFLECTIVE TAPE AT
THE REAR AND SIDES OF THE SPREADER WHEN
TRANSPORTING IT ON THE HIGHWAY.
WARNING
DO NOT TOW AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 20 MPH.
FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Operating speed is dictated by the terrain over which you
are traveling. Always use caution. Avoid traveling on
slopes or hills that are unsafe. Also beware of slippery
conditions such as traveling over areas previously spread
with manure. If possible, avoid spreading over areas
where manure has been previously applied.
If you travel on public roadways and it is legal to do so,
you must know all rules governing such operation. This
will include lighting and brake requirements in addition to
traffic rules. You may also be required to install a safety
chain on the spreader.
Safety Chain Use
CAUTION
A SAFETY CHAIN SHOULD BE INSTALLED TO RETAIN
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TRACTOR,
(OR OTHER TOWING VEHICLE) AND SPREADER
WHENVER TRAVELING ON PUBLIC ROADS. A
SUGGESTED ATTACHMENT IS ILLUSTRATED ON
FIGURE 6.
The chain must be strong enough to hold the weight of
the loaded spreader. If using a grab hook at the end(s) of
the chain to secure the chain to itself, a hook latch must
be installed.
The length of the safety chain is not to be any longer
than necessary to turn without interference. If any chain
links or attachment hardware are broken or stretched,
repair before using. Store chain so it does not corrode
or become damaged. Do not use this chain for other
implements because the strength and length of chain
may not be adequate. Identify this chain for use on this
particular spreader.
Safety chain designed for this spreader can be ordered
on page
24-25.
Highway Lights
Optional lights (see page 44) are offered for your
spreader. Lights are recommended for any spreader
operated on public roads and may be a requirement.
If equipped with lights, plug the electric plug into the
tractor trailer electrical receptacle.
