Keep Riders Off Machinery
Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be
struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.
▲ Never allow children to operate equipment.
▲ Keep all bystanders away from machine when
folding/unfolding, raising/lowering markers,
raising/lowering openers, and transporting.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Clean out and safely store or dispose of residual chemicals.
▲ Secure drill using blocks and transport locks. Lower
openers if not locked up.
▲ Store in an area where children normally do not play.
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
driving on public roads.
▲ Use lights and devices provided with drill and cart.
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for drill is 20 mph (32 kph).
Some rough terrains 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
stopping. 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 and 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 62.
