Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph (32
kph). Some rough terrains require a slower speed.
Sudden 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. 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.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the drill while the tractor is moving
Check for Overhead Lines
Drill markers contacting overhead electrical lines can
introduce lethal voltage levels on drill and tractor frames.
A person touching almost any metal part can complete
the circuit to ground, resulting in serious injury or death.
At higher voltages, electrocution can occur without direct
contact.
▲ Avoid overhead lines during seed loading/unloading and
marker operations.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Lower drill, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove
the key7.
▲ Secure drill using blocks and supports provided.
▲ Detach and store drill in an area where children normally
do not play.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.
▲ When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose
long enough for you to stand to one side–not in front of or
over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
▲ When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling
equipment adequate for weight involved.
