Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can create
a hazard 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 implement
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph (32
kph). Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sud-
den braking can cause a towed load to swerve and
upset.
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Never travel speeds which
do not allow adequate control of steering and stopping.
Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes.
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 1.5 times the weight of towing vehicle.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark planter in case of break-
down on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
“Specifications and Capacities” on page 109.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the planter while the tractor is mov-
ing.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Lower planter, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and
remove the key.
▲ Secure planter using blocks and supports provided.
▲ Detach and store planter in an area where children nor-
mally do not play.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be per-
formed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.
▲ When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose
long enough for you to stand to one side–not in front of or
over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
▲ When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling
equipment adequate for weight involved.
