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 during operation.
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 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 state and local laws.
▲ Follow your tractor manual recommendations for maximum
3-point implement loads and suitcase weight ballasting.
Insufficient weight on 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 61.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Drain and safely store or dispose of residual liquids.
▲ Secure drill using blocks and any stands provided.
▲ Store in an area where children normally do not play.
