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.
▲ 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 planter in case of break-
down on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
“Specifications and Capacities” on page 118.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the planter while the tractor is mov-
ing.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Lower planter, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and
remove the key.
▲ Secure planter using blocks and supports provided.
▲ Detach and store planter in an area where children nor-
mally do not play.
