Before transporting the power unit on a public
roadway or boarding a trailer for transport, the
power brake pedals should be locked together.
Locking the pedals ensures that both wheels brake
simultaneously while stopping, especially when
making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of
the power unit brakes when towing heavy loads at
road speeds. Never tow the implement at speeds
greater than 20 MPH.
OPS-UPI- 0014
9.1 Transporting on Public Roadways
Extreme caution should be used when transporting the power unit and implement on public roadways. The
power unit must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing
warning lights to alert drivers of the power unit’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
power unit’s slower speed. Be extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are towing is wider
than the power unit tire width and/or extends beyond your lane of the road.
OPS-UPI- 0015
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.
