Transporting Safety
IMPORTANT
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
When transporting the machine on a road or highway,
use adequate warning symbols, reflectors, lights and
slow moving vehicle sign (purchased separately), as
required. Slow moving tractors and towed implements
can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They
are difficult to see, especially at night.
Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark tractor and implement in
case of breakdown on the road.
Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. Never travel at a speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and stopping. Reduce
speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes.
Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
machine may cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the machine.
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the machine to
shift sideways.
Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Know transport height
and width of your machine. Refer to transport dimensions
page 5-1.
Attaching, Detaching and Storage
• Do not stand between the tractor and the implement
when attaching or detaching the implement unless
both are not moving.
• Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, be
sure all connections are tight and that hydraulic lines
and hoses are not damaged.
• Lower machine to ground when not in use so that the
shanks are taking the load.
• Block machine so it will not roll when unhitched from
the tractor.
• Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before uncoupling
hydraulic hoses from tractor.
NOTE
On most tractors relieving hydraulic pressure can be
accomplished by operating valves after the engine is
stopped.
