▲Flashing warning lights and turn signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads. Use lights and devices provided with implement.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲Comply with state and local laws.
▲Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph. DO NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Some rough terrain require a slower speed.
▲Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes.
▲Use the following maximum speed - tow load weight ratios as a guideline:
▲20 mph when weight is less than or equal to the weight of tractor.
▲10 mph when weight is double the weight of tractor.
▲IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of tractor.
Use A Safety Chain
▲A safety chain will help control drawn machinery should it separate from the tractor drawbar.
▲Use a chain with the strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machinery.
▲Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.
▲Do not use safety chain for towing.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools and equipment, refer to Operator’s Manual for additional information.
▲Work in a clean dry area.
▲Lower the implement to the ground, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before performing maintenance.
▲Allow implement to cool completely.
▲Do not grease or oil implement while it is in operation.
