Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is
30 km/h or 20 mph. Some rough terrains require a
slower speed. Sudden braking can cause a towed load to
swerve and upset.
▲ Do not exceed 30 km/h or 20 mph. Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and
stopping. 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 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 163.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the drill while the tractor is moving
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Unfold and lower drill.
▲ Block tires with wheel chocks provided.
▲ Detach and store drill in an area where children normally
do not play.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲ Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper
tools and equipment. Refer to this manual. For brake
work, see specific safety information beginning on
page 138.
▲ Work in a clean, dry area.
▲ Unfold and lower the drill, put tractor in park, turn off
engine, and remove key before performing maintenance. If
work must be performed with implement raised, use centre
section lift lock and gauge lock channels provided.
▲ Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system
pressure is relieved.
▲ Allow drill to cool completely.
▲ Disconnect battery grounding cable (-) before servicing or
adjusting electrical systems.
▲ Welding: Disconnect battery grounding. Protect hydraulic
lines. Avoid fumes from heated paint.
▲ Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition
and installed properly.
▲ Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
▲ Remove all tools and unused parts from drill before
operation.
