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.
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 cutter wing and set transport lock pin
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
Land Pride recommends the Rotary Cutter be equipped
with chain guards to stop flying objects when cutting road
Use the LED flashing lights on the cutter to make yourself
more visible when cutting road sides.
