Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and towed drills can create a haz-
ard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
▲ Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever driv-
ing on public roads.
▲ Use lights and devices provided with the drill.
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for drill is 20 mph (32 kph).
Rough terrains may require a slower speed. Sudden
braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and stop-
ping. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
▲ Comply with national, regional and local laws.
▲ Follow your tractor manual recommendations for maximum
hitch loads. Insufficient weight on tractor steering wheels
will result in loss of control.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of breakdown
on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
“Specifications and Capacities” on page 89.
Wear Protective Equipment
▲ Wear protective clothing and equipment.
▲ Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid
loose-fitting clothing.
▲ Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hear-
ing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable hearing pro-
tection such as earmuffs or earplugs.
▲ Because operating equipment safely requires your full
attention, avoid wearing entertainment headphones while
operating machinery.
