TRANSPORT LIGHTING & REFLECTORS
TRANSPORTING
SAFETY CHAIN (Optional)
Follow state and local regulations regarding use of a safety chain and transport lighting when towing
farm equipment on public highways. A proper safety chain should be used to retain the safety connection
between the towing and towed machines, in the event of separation of the primary attaching system.
Check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. Unless otherwise
prohibited, use a slow-moving vehicle emblem. Never tow the
Top Shot on a public highway at a speed
greater than 20 mph (32 kph).
As required or when desired, the Top Shot can be equipped with a safety chain for travel on public
highways.
1. Chain is sufficiently slack to allow turns and movements of either the tractor or the Top Shot ,
without placing tension on the chain.
2. Chain is of sufficient strength to hold the decoupled implement (and its load) and tow it to the
shoulder.
TOWING ON HIGHWAY
To view beyond the back of the larger trailer-mounted Top Shot when transporting the unit on a public
highway, consider obtaining and installing a rear view mirror on your tractor with a wide load mounting
bracket.
Transport lighting with a 7 pin plug is standard
equipment on all
Top Shot Models. The lighting
system is to be connected to the 7 pin power
receptacle (per SAEJ560B) on your tractor. If your
tractor is not equipped with the proper receptacle,
see your tractor dealer for details.
Red reflective
safety decals and a SMV sign are on the rear of the
tank for safety.
STORAGE
Because the Top Shot is likely to be used year-round, it should be in ready-to-operate condition at all
times. Several provisions have been designed into the Top Shot to enable it to be used in cold, moderate
and warm outside temperatures. The most important factor for continuous proper operation is lubrication.
When operating the
Top Shot in freezing temperatures, the unit should be stored inside, if possible.
Refer to Operation Chapter for special operating procedures in freezing temperatures.
