Transport Machinery Safely

Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph (32
kph), 13 mph (21 kph) in turns. 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 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” in Operator Manual.

Do not fold or unfold the planter while the tractor is moving

Shutdown and Storage

Secure planter using blocks and supports provided.
Lower planter, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and

remove the key.

Detach and store planter in an area where children nor-

mally do not play.

Safety At All Times

Thoroughly read and understand the instructions in this
manual before operation. Read all instructions noted on
the safety decals.

Be familiar with all planter functions.
Operate machinery from the driver’s seat only.
Do not leave planter unattended with tractor engine run-

ning.

Do not dismount a moving tractor. Dismounting a moving

tractor could cause serious injury or death.

Do not stand between the tractor and planter during hitch-

ing.

Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power-driven

parts.

Wear snug-fitting clothing to avoid entanglement with mov-

ing parts.

Watch out for wires, trees, etc., when folding and raising

planter. Make sure all persons are clear of working area.
