this manual.

Use Safety
Lights and Devices

▲ Slow moving tractors, self-

propelled equipment, and towed
implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They
are difficult to see, especially at

EXCEED.Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping.
Some rough terrains require a
slower speed.

▲ Sudden breaking can cause a

towed load to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with breaks.

▲ 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.
