Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can create
a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult
to see, especially at night.
Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever
driving on public roads.
Use lights and devices provided with implement
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph
(30 kph). Some rough terrains require a slower speed.
Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and
upset.
Do not exceed 20 mph (30 kph). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and
stopping. Reduce speed if drill is not equipped with
brakes.
Comply with state and local laws.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of
breakdown on the road.
Semi-mounted and 3-point implements reduce weight on
steering tires. Verify that tractor is correctly ballasted.
Watch for signs of poor steering traction.
Tires Not a Step
Do not use gauge wheel or lift-assist tires as steps. A tire
could spin underfoot, resulting in a fall onto the
implement or ground, possibly causing serious injury.
The gauge wheel tires can be in poor ground contact at
any time, even with the drill lowered in the field. They can
appear to be in ground contact, and spin easily, in
multiple conditions.
The lift-assist tires can be in poor ground contact, or out
of ground contact, whenever the drill is lowered.
Shutdown and Storage
Park on level ground.
Unhitch and store the drill in an area where children
normally do not play.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough for you to stand to one side–not in front
of or over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling
equipment adequate for weight involved.
