OPERATION
BH400/BH500 Series 10/19
Operation Section 4-44
© 2019 Alamo Group Inc.
13.2 Transporting on Public Roadways
Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and implement on public roadways. The tractor
must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning
lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence.
Remember that roadways are primarily designed for
automotive drivers and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them.
Check your side view mirrors frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the
tractor’s slower speed. Be extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are towing is wider than
the tractor tire width and/or extends beyond your lane of the road.
Make sure that a proper size safety tow chain is secured between the tractor and implement before entering a
public road.
OPS-U- 0019
Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local
traffic regulations.
(SG-6
)
The
SMV
(Slow-Moving
Vehicle)
emblem
is
universal symbol used to alert drivers of the
presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a
slow speed.
SMV signs are a triangular bright
orange with reflective red trim for both easy day
and night visibility.
Make sure the SMV sign is
clean and visible from the rear of the unit before
transporting the tractor and implement on a public
roadway.
Replace the SMV emblem if faded,
damaged, or no longer reflective.
OPS-U- 0020
Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights,
headlights, and brake/tail lights are functioning
properly before proceeding onto public roads. While
newer model tractors have plenty of lighting to
provide warning signals and operating lighting, most
older models are only equipped with operating lights.
Consult an authorized tractor dealer for lighting kits
and modifications available to upgrade the lighting on
older tractor models.
