Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for drill is 20 mph (32 kph).
Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden
braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
▲ Drill must be raised, locked-up, folded and locked for
transport.
▲ 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.
▲ Do not tow a load that weighs more than 1.5x the weight of
the tractor. See page 29 for details.
▲ 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 170.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Clean out and safely store or dispose of residual chemicals.
▲ Secure drill using blocks and transport locks. Lower
openers if not locked up.
▲ Store 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 on the Parts manual
for additional information.
▲ Work in a clean, dry area.
▲ Put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before
performing maintenance.
▲ Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system
pressure is relieved.
▲ Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or
adjusting electrical systems or before welding on drill.
▲ 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.
