Transporting
!
WARNING
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 causing a serious injury or death.
!
CAUTION
When traveling on public roads, use accessory lights, SMV
sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate devices to warn
operators in other vehicles of your presence. Always comply
with all federal, state, and local laws.
!
WARNING
Do not exceed maximum transport speed of 20 MPH with
cutter attached. Travel below 20 MPH on rough terrain. The
cutter can lose a tire or tires can break apart causing the
operator to lose control of tractor and/or implement.
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 lock pins before
traveling on public roadways.
4. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough
or hilly terrain.
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.
