WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always raise wings and set transport locks before
transporting from one work site to another and before
traveling on public roadways. The wings can fall if not
•
When traveling on roadways, travel in such a way that
other vehicles may pass you safely. Always use LED lights,
clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that is
visible from the back to warn operators in other vehicles of
your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and
•
Select a safe ground speed when transporting. Never travel
at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering
and stopping, and never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) with
attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower speed.
•
Watch while making tight turns to ensure that the rear
tractor tires and lower 3-point arms do not make contact
with cutter hitch, driveline or deck. Keep lower 3-point
arms raised at all times when hitched to a pull-type cutter.
1. Select a safe ground speed when transporting from
one area to another. Maximum transport speed for
the Rotary Cutter is 20 mph.
DO NOT EXCEED
.
2. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning
and leave enough clearance so the cutter does not
contact obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
3. Always raise wings and set transport locks before
transporting from one work site to another location
and before traveling on public roadways.
4. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely. Use
LED lights to make yourself more visible on
roadways. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling
over rough or hilly terrain.
