TRANSPORTING
DO NOT OPERATE WHILE
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR
DRUGS.
Be certain your forage box is properly mounted to the
trailer. Consult your dealer if you have any questions
about the tie down kit from the manufacturer.
INSPECT REGULARLY THAT
ALL CONNECTIONS AND BOLTS ARE TIGHT
AND SECURE BEFORE OPERATING. FAILURE
TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
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.
Always disconnect the PTO drive shaft from the
tractor and return it to its storage bracket on the
unloading unit for transporting. Failure to do this may
result in equipment damage.
ALWAYS USE A SAFETY
HITCH PIN WITH A LOCKING DEVICE.
USE SAFETY CHAIN
A SAFETY CHAIN MUST BE
INSTALLED TO RETAIN THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN TRACTOR (OR OTHER TOWING
VEHICLE) AND SPREADER WHENEVER
TRAVELING ON PUBLIC ROADS IN CASE THE
HITCH CONNECTION WOULD SEPARATE. A
SUGGESTED ATTACHMENT IS ILLUSTRATED
ON FIGURE 1.
The chain must be strong enough to hold the weight of
the loaded trailer. 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 trailer.
OBSERVE ALL APPLICABLE
TRAFFIC LAWS WHEN TRANSPORTING ON
PUBLIC ROADWAYS. CHECK LOCAL LAWS
FOR ALL HIGHWAY LIGHTING AND MARKING
REQUIREMENTS.
INSTALL A SMV EMBLEM ON
REAR OF FORAGE BOX FOR TRANSPORTING
ON ROADWAYS AND KEEP THIS EMBLEM
CLEAN AND BRIGHT. FAILURE TO HEED MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.
If you will travel on public roads 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 device on the running gear.
Check for traffic constantly. Be sure that no one is
attempting to pass and that all traffic is sufficiently
clear before making any turns.

Attach the towing vehicle to the trailer using a proper
sized hitch pin to handle the load being towed. Check
that safety pins are inserted properly to prevent
accidental uncoupling. Do not pull trailer if the hitch
plates are damaged. Use a safety chain as instructed
on page 8. Connect the breakaway chain from the
actuator to the tow vehicle fastening to the bumper or
hitch assembly. Allow extra slack for turning corners
but not too much slack for the chain to be dragging on
the pavement. Maintain as straight a connection to
the tow vehicle as possible. The safety breakaway
chain will only function after the hitch pin and safety
chains have failed.
