Factory Direct Tractors
Safety Precautions
• Safety chains
A safety chain will help control towed equipment should it
accidentally separate from the drawbar.
Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach the chain to the
tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location.
Provide only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.
See your DongFeng dealer for a chain with a strength
rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the
towed machine.
Do not use safety chain for towing.
• Transport safety
A disabled tractor is best transported on a flatbed carrier.
Use chains to secure the tractor to the carrier.
Never tow a tractor at a speed greater than 16 km/h
(10mph). An operator must steer and brake the tractor
under tow.
• Tow loads safely
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of
towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or without
brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too
fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of
the equipment and its size.
Observe recommended maximum road speeds, or local
speed limits which may be lower:
•
If towed equipment does not have brakes, do not travel
more than 20 km/hr and do not tow loads more than 1.5
times the tractor weight.
•
If towed equipment has brakes, do not travel more than
30 km/hr and do not tow loads more than 3 times the
tractor weight.
Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended
weight ratio. Add ballast to recommended maximum for
tractor, lighten the load, or get a heavier towing unit. The
tractor must be heavy and powerful enough with adequate
braking power for the towed load. Use additional caution
when towing loads under adverse surface conditions, when
turning, and on inclines.
