Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices
Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat
with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or
Implement may cause serious injury or death.
(SG-29)
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this Implement as in all
power-driven or pulled equipment. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in rough
terrain conditions that include grass, weeds, gullies, holes, slopes, hidden obstructions and
the like. Serious injury or even death may occur unless care is taken to assure the safety
of the operator and bystanders in the area. Do not operate this machine with anyone in
the immediate area. Stop operating if anyone comes within 25 feet of the equipment.
(STL-4)
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
rotating parts of the Implement. These objects could then swing outside the housing at
great velocity. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or
even death. Inspect the area for such objects before working in the area. Remove any such
objects from the site. Never allow the implement to contact such objects.
(STL-6)
This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting
this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,
concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and
Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.
Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles.
(S3PT-12)
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go
up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements
move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make
certain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels
to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or
uneven surfaces to prevent loss of steering control which could result in property damage
or possible injury. Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched
transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to the
tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.
