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. Never travel at a speed which does
not allow adequate control of steering and stopping.
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Do not tow a 3-point implement that, when loaded for
transport, weighs more than the towing vehicle.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of breakdown
on the road.
Marker Safety
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
“Specifications and Capacities” on page 42.
▲ Keep all persons well clear of drill during marker opera-
tions.
Handle Chemicals Properly
Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil and
property.
▲ Do not use liquid treatments with drill (unless using a fertil-
izer hitch).
▲ Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
▲ Wear protective clothing.
▲ Handle all chemicals with care.
▲ Avoid inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire.
▲ Never drain, rinse or wash dispensers within 100 feet (30m)
of a freshwater source, nor at a car wash.
▲ Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by chemi-
cal manufacturer.
▲ Dispose of empty chemical containers properly. Laws gen-
erally require power rinsing or rinsing three times, followed
by perforation of the container to prevent re-use.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Lower drill, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove
the key.
▲ Secure drill using blocks.
▲ Detach and store drill in an area where children normally
do not play.
