Transporting
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always raise wing and set transport lock before
transporting from one work site to another and before
traveling on public roadways. The wing can fall if not
secured with the transport lock.
•
When traveling on public roads, use LED lights, slow
moving vehicle sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate
devices to warn operators in other vehicles of your
presence. If implement blocks visibility of slow moving
vehicle sign, relocate sign so it is visible from the back at all
times. Always comply with all federal, state, and local laws.
•
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.
IMPORTANT: Always disengage tractor’s power
take-off & wait for blades to come to a complete stop
before raising cutter wing to transport position. Wing
driveline, gearbox, and splitter gearbox can be
damaged if driveline is turning.
NOTE: The wing is controlled with a hydraulic lift
cylinder. Be certain that the wing hydraulics are
attached to the tractor and the hydraulic hose is full
of oil before proceeding.
