weather is possible before next use.

Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can cre-
ate 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
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph, 13
mph in turns. Some rough terrains require a slower
speed. Sudden braking can cause a towed load to
swerve and upset.
▲ Use the safety chain provided with the cart.
▲ Never transport the cart in train with the planter unless
the tanks are completely empty.
▲ Do not exceed 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.
▲ Do not attempt to back up with cart attached to planter.
Castering of the planter’s rear wheels, and the cart’s lead
wheel, make precise directional control difficult.
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Do not tow an implement train that, when fully loaded,
weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of towing vehicle.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark cart in case of break-
down on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstruc-
tions when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions
under “Specifications and Capacities” on page 46.
