Inflate tyres to factory
specifications. Tighten wheel
nuts to specifications. Under-
inflated tyres or loose nuts can
cause loss of control. Over-
inflated tyres or over-tightened
nuts can fail suddenly and cause
loss of control. Loss of control can
cause a major accident resulting
in death, injury and equipment
damage.
Check lights and reflectors
regularly. Replace bulbs and
faded/worn/missing decals as
required. Use lights in transport.
These features are critical to
visibility, particularly with other
drivers unfamiliar with farm
equipment or not expecting to
encounter a slow-moving vehicle.
Front lights should be moved into
the road transport position.
2.12 Transporting the
Drill
Tractor must weigh at least 67%
of the drill as towed. Ensure that
the towing vehicle is adequate
for the task. Using an inadequate
tow vehicle is extremely unsafe,
and can result in loss of control,
serious injury and death. See
table on opposite page. Do not
tow if drill exceeds the load rating
of the vehicle.
Check bridge loads and plan
routes accordingly. A loaded drill
can exceed the load ratings of
bridges you must cross.
Maximum transport speed is
30 kph (20 mph) at all times,
and lower with a lighter tractor.
Excess speed can result in loss
of control or inability to stop.
Reduce speeds with materials
loaded, or if road conditions are
less than ideal.
Ensure the wing lock is engaged
when the wings are folded.
