Transporting Sprayer
IMPORTANT: Observe the safety precautions when transporting the sprayer to another
location:
1. DO NOT allow anyone to ride on sprayer or tractor.
2. DO NOT transport the sprayer unless the booms are fully folded and boom is securely placed
in the boom transport rests.
3. AVOID sudden turns which may reduce operator control of the tractor or cause sprayer to tip.
Sprayers tend to be top heavy when tank is filled and wheels are set at 62 inches.
4. ALWAYS be aware of the location of the ends of the booms in order to avoid collisions with
stationary or moving objects.
IMPORTANT: NEVER exceed the maximum towing speed of 20 MPH (32 KMH). Reduce
speed when turning or traveling on rough or hilly terrain.
Transport Lighting
The sprayer is equipped with transport lighting for transporting the sprayer on public highways. The
light cord supplied with the sprayer has a standard seven prong plug. Contact your tractor dealer if
your tractor does not have the appropriate receptacle.
SMV Emblem and Reflectors
The sprayer is provided with reflective strips and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblem.
Unless prohibited, always use a SMV emblem.
Safety Chain
Sprayers can be equipped with a safety chain (Part No. 329946B91) for travel on public highways.
Contact your dealer to order. When attaching chain, be sure to allow enough slack for turning.
