8.0 TRANSPORTATION
8.1 Warning Lights
CAUTION: Prevent collisions between other road users, slow moving tractors with attachments or
towed equipment, and self - propelled machines on public roads. Frequently check for traffic from the
rear, especially in turns, and use turn signal lights or hand signals.
Use headlights, flashing warning lights, and turn signals day and night. Follow local regulations for
equipment and marking. Keep lighting and marking visible and in good working order. Replace or re-
pair lighting and marking that has been damaged or lost.
8.2 Preparing for Transport
1. Turn off PTO and any constant hydraulics for transport.
2. Clean all soil and debris off the machine.
3. Raise the front hitch to the highest position for maximum ground clearance.
4. Lower the rear struts against the stops. If drum #3 flails are too close to the ground, add an addi-
tional stop for transport.
5. Make sure all safety decals and lights are clean and visible and all tail lights and turn signals func-
tion properly.
CAUTION: Always use warning lights when transporting. Braking distance is greatly increased when
towing a defoliator.
NOTE: See section 3.1 for maximum transport speeds.
