Examine safety decals and be sure you have the correct
safety decals for the machine.
See Figure 1-3.
Order replacement decals through your Brillion dealer.
Keep these signs clean so they can be observed readily.
It is important to keep these decals cleaned more
frequently than the machine. Wash with soap and water
or a cleaning solution as required.
Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also, be
sure that any new machine components installed during
repair include decals which are assigned to them by the
manufacturer.
When applying decals to the machine, be sure to clean
the surface to remove any dirt or residue. Where
possible, sign placement should protect the sign from
abrasion, damage, or obstruction from mud, dirt, oil etc.

Transporting Safety
IMPORTANT
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
When transporting the machine on a road or highway,
use adequate warning symbols, reflectors, lights and
slow moving vehicle sign as required. Slow moving
tractors and towed machines can create a hazard when
driven on public roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
Do not tow an machine that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark the tractor and machine
in case of breakdown on the road.
Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. Never travel at a speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and stopping. Reduce speed
if towed load is not equipped with brakes.
Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
machine may cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor. Use a tractor 1.5 times heavier than the machine.
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the machine to
shift sideways.
Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Know the transport
height and width of your machine.
See “Reference
Tables and Specifications” on pages 5-1 through 5-6 .
Special notice - read and thoroughly understand.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed caution
