Handle Chemicals Properly
Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil and
property.
▲ Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
▲ Wear protective clothing.
▲ Handle all chemicals with care.
▲ Avoid inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire.
▲ Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by chemi-
cal manufacturer.
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 32 kph (20
mph). Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sud-
den braking can cause a towed load to swerve and
upset.
▲ Do not exceed 32 kph. 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.
▲ 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 drill in case of breakdown
on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the drill while the tractor is moving.
Check for Overhead Lines
Markers contacting overhead electrical lines can intro-
duce lethal voltage levels on drill and tractor frames. A
person touching almost any metal part can complete the
circuit to ground, resulting in serious injury or death. At
very high voltages, electrocution can occur without direct
contact.
▲ Avoid overhead lines during drill operations with markers.
