Shutdown and storage
•
Lower machine to ground, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove the ignition key.
•
Detach and store implements in a area where children normally do not play. Secure implement by using blocks
and supports.
Use safety lights and devices
•
Slow moving tractors, self-propelled equipment, and towed implements can create a hazard when driven on
public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night.
•
Flashing warning lights and turn signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads. Use lights and
devices provided with implement.
Transport machinery safely
•
Comply with state and local laws.
•
Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph. Do not exceed. Never travel at a speed which does not
allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Some rough terrain require a slower speed.
•
Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
•
Use the following maximum speed - tow load weight ratios as a guideline:
-
20 mph when weight is less than or equal to the weight of tractor.
-
10 mph when weight is double the weight of tractor.
