2.3. TRANSPORT SAFETY SA 1061, 1071, 1081, 1091, 1371, 1381, 1391
2.3. TRANSPORT SAFETY
• Ensure tires are inflated to the tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
• Make sure that all lights and reflectors required by the local highway and
transport authorities are in place, are functioning, and can be seen clearly by
all overtaking and oncoming traffic.Check with local authorities regarding
transportation of agricultural equipment on public roads. Obey all applicable
laws and regulations.
• Be sure the unit is hitched securely to the towing vehicle.
• Do not allow riders while transporting.
• Display a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem when transporting below 15
mph (24 km/h).
• Use hazard-warning flashers when transporting with a tractor unless prohibited.
• Keep to the right and yield the right-of-way to allow faster traffic to pass.
• Never transport faster than the road terrain or conditions will safely allow.
• Use caution when turning corners or meeting traffic.
• Use caution when approaching height-limiting objects.
• Be especially careful when transporting during times of limited visibility (rain,
snow, fog, dusk, or at night). If you can, wait for a more appropriate time to
move the equipment.
• Do not transport auger on a slope greater than 20°—the auger may overturn.
• The winch must be in the locked position. To lock, turn handle clockwise until
you hear two clicks. Also ensure that the locking pin and clips are in place on
the hopper lift arm.
2.4. STORAGE SAFETY

• Ensure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
• Use proper tools for the job and wear appropriate safety gear.
• Ensure there is adequate lighting to perform the job safely.
• Place chocks in front and behind the wheels to prevent the machine from rolling.
• Use extra caution when cleaning and servicing augers because flighting
edges can be sharp.
• Follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a rim. If in doubt, have a
qualified tire repair service perform the required maintenance.
• Install and secure all guards after maintenance work is completed.
