Transporting

WARNING
To prevent 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
secured with transport locks.
•
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 with attached
equipment. Some rough terrains require a slower speed.
•
When traveling on public roads, use LED lights, SMV sign,
clean reflectors, and other adequate devices to warn
operators in other vehicles of your presence. If implement
blocks visibility of SMV sign, relocate SMV sign so it is
visible from the back at all times. Always comply with all
federal, state, and local laws.
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
traveling on public roadways.
4. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely. Use
LED flashing lights on the cutter to make yourself
more visible.
5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough
or hilly terrain.
Road Side Cutting
Use the LED flashing lights on the cutter to make yourself
more visible when cutting road sides.
Field Set-up
!
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
The following operational procedures should be carried out
by the tractor operator. Other persons should not be in the
area. All cutter operations including field set-up should be
stopped when other persons are in the vicinity.
IMPORTANT: Make slow tight turns to the right and
left to determine if and at what angle the rear tractor
tires may come in contact with the deck and/or hitch.
IMPORTANT: Cutting should not be done in wet
conditions. Wet material will build up on the deck
underside creating additional horsepower, high
wear, and poor discharge.
