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.
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.
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.
Observe these recommended maximum
road speeds or local speed limits which may
be lower:
If towed equipment does not have brakes, do
not travel more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and
do not tow loads more than 1.5 times the
tractor weight.
Ensure the load does not exceed the
recommended weight ratio. Add ballast to the
recommended maximum for the 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.
Avoid Overhead Power Lines
WARNING: Keep away from overhead
power lines. Serious injury or death
may result.
CAUTION: Keep away from over-
