Reduce speed before turning or applying the brakes.
Ensure that both brake pedals are locked together
when operating on public roads.
DANGER! When the Wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised
and the possibility of overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use
extremecaution when turning on hillsides. Overturning the Implement
could cause the Implement to overturn the Tractor and vice versa resulting
in serious injury or even death. Never fold wings on a hillside...the
Implement may overturn.
(STI-2)
WARNING! Only tow the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor which exceeds the weight
of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT tow the Implement behind a truck or other type of
vehicle. Never tow the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never tow the
Implement at speeds over 20 MPH.
(STI-6)
WARNING! Secure the Implement for transport before traveling on public roads. For pull-type Implements,
secure the center axle using cylinder stops or transport pin and properly attach a safety chain
between the Implement and Tractor. Secure wings in upright position on folding Implements
using wing transport locks.
(STI-7)
In the transport position the flex arm offsets the mower as much as 3’ to the right. Do not allow the trailing mower
wheels to run off the edge of the road or shoulder. Sudden turns or running off the road can cause loss of stability
and possible mower and tractor roll over resulting in serious bodily injury or even death.
DANGER! Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement using the tractor.
Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual
steering angle. Make certain that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is
on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or
uneven surfaces.
(STI-1)
When transporting the implements reduce speed when going around corners. Do not make any sudden turns at a
high transport speed. The tractors and implements are much longer so turning speed needs to be at a low speed,
and more clearance need to be taken in account for when turning.
