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 (32 kph). 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 national, regional and local laws.
▲ Follow your tractor manual recommendations for maximum
hitch loads. Insufficient weight on tractor steering wheels
will result in loss of control.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark implement and cart 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 62.
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 implement.
▲ 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
(30 m) of a freshwater source, nor at a car wash.
▲ Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
chemical manufacturer.
▲ Dispose of empty chemical containers properly. Laws
generally require power rinsing or rinsing three times,
followed by perforation of the container to prevent re-use.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Clean out and safely store or dispose of residual chemicals.
▲ Secure implement using blocks and transport locks. Lower
openers if not locked up.
▲ Store in an area where children normally do not play.
