Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for the implement on its own
tires is 20 mph (30 kph). Rough terrain may require a
slower speed. Sudden braking can cause a towed load to
swerve and upset.
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (30 kph). Travel only at a speed
which allows adequate control of steering and stopping.
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of breakdown
on the road.
▲ 3-point implements reduce weight on steering tires. Verify
that tractor is correctly ballasted. Watch for signs of poor
steering traction.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Park on level ground.
▲ Unhitch and store the 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.
