Use additional caution and reduce speed
when towing under adverse surface
conditions, when turning, and when on
inclines. For transport, the weight of the
EMPTY Sprayer must not be more than 1.5
times the weight of the tractor. The minimum
towing tractor weight for the Boom Sprayer is
7600 lbs.
Never tow this implement with a motor
vehicle. Tow only with a properly ballasted
tractor.
EC Compliance Notification
WARNING: Environmental
transportation hazard. A loaded
machine driven on public roads has a
high risk of tire failure. Do not use the
machine for transporting product(s)
on public roads.
Never transport with a tank filled with water
or chemical(s).
Use a Signal Person
Use a signal person to direct movement of
the tractor / implement combination,
whenever the tractor operator's view is
obstructed.
Designate one individual as THE signal
person. Always have the signal person stand
in clear view. Be sure the signal person stays
a safe distance away from the machine when
it is moving.
Prior to starting the tractor, discuss hand
signals and what each signal means to avoid
misunderstandings and confusion which
could result in a serious injury or fatal
accident for someone.
Keep all bystanders away whenever the
machine is moved.
Use a Safety Chain
A safety chain will help control drawn
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.
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 load.
