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 implement
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.
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 32 kph.
Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden
braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
▲ Do not exceed 32 kph or 20 mph. Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and
stopping.
▲ Comply with national, regional and local laws.
▲ Do not tow a pull-type implement that, when fully loaded,
weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of towing vehicle.
▲ Do not tow a 2-point implement unless the tractor is rated
for the load, and is properly ballasted for the load.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark planter 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” in Operator manual.
▲ Do not fold or unfold markers while the tractor is moving
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Use transport locks, and parking stands or tongue jack.
▲ Block tires.
▲ Detach and store planter in an area where children
normally do not play.
