Transporting
Loss of Control Hazard:
Towing the drill at high speeds or with a vehicle that is not
heavy enough could lead to loss of vehicle control. Loss of
vehicle control could lead to serious road accidents, injury
and death. To reduce the hazard, do not exceed 20 mph. Check
that your tractor has enough ballast to handle the weight of
the drill. Refer to your tractor operator’s manual for ballast
requirements.
Loss of Control Hazard:
Failure of hydraulic cylinders during transport will cause
drill to drop suddenly, which could lead to serious road
accidents, injury or death. To prevent an accident, always
install cylinder locks before transporting drill.
Before transporting, check and practice the following
items.
Lock Cylinders.
Cylinder locks (1) are located on both
hydraulic cylinders. With drill fully raised swing lock up
over rod of cylinder and snap into place, see Figure 10.
Note: The cylinder locks can be engaged or disengaged
only after the drill is fully raised.
Unload drill box.
The drill can be transported with a full
box of grain, but the added weight will increase
stopping distance and decrease maneuverability.
Unload drill box before transporting if at all possible.
Clearance.
Remember that the drill is wider that the
tractor. Allow safe clearance.
Road rules.
Comply with all federal, state and local
safety laws when traveling on public roads.
