SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL
XLI
–
DO NOT overload an attachment or towed equipment. Use proper
counter-weights to maintain tractor stability. Hitch loads to the
drawbar only.
–
A safety chain will help control drawn equipment should it be acciden-
tally separated from the drawbar while transporting. Using the appro-
priate adaptor parts, attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or
other specified anchor location. Provide only enough slack in the
chain to permit turning. See your Dealer for a chain with a strength rat-
ing equal to, or greater than the gross weight of the towed machine.
–
Make sure any towed implements are equipped with a safety chain
linking tractor and implement.
–
Pull only from the approved drawbar. Towing or attaching to other lo-
cations may cause the tractor to overturn.
Safety - Towing
–
For towed equipment WITHOUT brakes, DO NOT tow equipment:
- at speeds over 30 km/h (19 miles/h);
- that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 1 times the weight of the
towing unit (please refer to local rules).
–
For towed equipment WITH MECHANICAL brakes, DO NOT tow
equipment:
- at speeds over 30 km/h (19 miles/h);
- that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 1 times the weight of the
towing unit or 5000 Kg (please refer to local rules).
–
For towed equipment WITH HYDRAULIC OR PNEUMATIC brakes,
DO NOT tow equipment:
- at speeds over 40 km/h (25 miles/h);
- that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 4 times the weight of the
towing unit, with a maximum of 20000 Kg (please refer to local rules).
–
When parking tractor and towed trailer, engage the lowest transmis-
sion gear, engage parking brake, shut off the engine, remove the key
and chock both tractor and trailer wheels
–
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads,
and on hills and slopes. Towed loads with or without brakes that are
too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of con-
trol. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.
WARNING: TRACTOR REQUIRES CORRECT TRAILER BRAKING
EQUIPMENT BE INSTALLED AND CONNECTED TO THE EQUIP-
MENT.
