Transporting
When traveling on public roads at night or during the day, use accessory lights and devices
for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local
laws.

transport lock (#1) on lift cylinder (#3) before
traveling on roadways or long distances.
Secure transport lock with wire retaining pin
(#2).
2. Select a safe ground travel speed when
transporting from one area to another.
3. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when
turning; and leave enough clearance so the
scraper does not contact obstacles such as
building, trees or fences.
4. Shift to a lower gear when traveling over
roughly or hilly terrain.
5. When traveling on roadways, transport is such
that faster moving vehicles may pass you
safely.

The following operational procedures should be carried out by the tractor operator. Other
persons should be cleared of the area even during scraper set up. All scraper operation
including field set up should be stepped when in the vicinity of other persons.

the tractor drawbar.
4. Shut tractor off before removing hitch pin and safety chain.

the hydraulic quick release couplings to connect.
