4.12 Transporting
1.
Make sure you are in compliance with all
local regulations regarding transporting
equipment on public roads and highways.
1.
Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle)
emblem and all the lights and reflectors that
are required by the local highway and
transport authorities are in place, are clean,
and can be seen clearly by all overtaking and
oncoming traffic.
2.
Do not allow anyone to ride on the Planter
or tractor during transport.
3.
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 km/h). Reduce
speed on rough roads and surfaces.
4.
Do not transport with tank(s) loaded.
When transporting the machine, review and
follow these instructions
1.
Be sure all bystanders are clear of the
machine.
2.
Ensure that the machine is securely attached
to the tractor and all retainer pins are
installed.
3.
Raise the machine and install the transport
lock before transporting.
4.
Clean the SMV emblem and all lights and
reflectors before starting.
5.
Be sure that all lights required by the local
highway authorities are in place, clean and
functioning so they can be seen by oncoming
and overtaking traffic.
6.
If transporting during times of limited
visibility or dusk, install extra lights or use
pilot vehicles.
7.
Always use hazard flashers on the tractor
when transporting unless prohibited by law.
8.
Watch through the expanded metal grill on
the hopper for overtaking traffic. Keep to
the right and yield the right of way to allow
faster traffic to pass. Drive on the road
shoulder, if permitted by law.
9.
Do not allow riders on the machine.
10.
Do not transport when the machine is
loaded.
11.
Never exceed a safe travel speed.
12.
Always shift to a lower gear when going
down hills to use the engine as a retarding
force.
13.
Apply the brakes carefully to prevent
jackknifing.
14.
Never disengage tractor drive train and coast
down hills. Always keep tractor in gear.
15.
Never tow the machine faster than 20 mph
(32 km/h). The ratio of the tractor weight to
the planter weight plays an important role in
defining acceptable travel speed.
