SAFETY
TRANSPORTING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not allow anyone to ride on or in the Schuler mixer/feeder.
Do not exceed 10 mph when traveling over smooth dry areas, and reduce speed when traveling loaded
and/or over rough, soft, or wet terrain. Exercise caution on side slopes and when turning corners.
The weight of the tractor should be at least 50% or more of the loaded mixer/feeder weight. Do not
exceed over 10 mph when towing a loaded mixer/feeder.
Avoid operating the mixer/feeder when making sharp turns, or towing over uneven terrain.
Keep the tractor transmission in gear when working on slopes or inclines, or traveling uphill or
downhill.
When unhitching mixer/feeder from the tractor, stop on level ground and block the tires.
Whenever towing the equipment with a tractor on a public road, always use the tractors flashing amber
lights. If the tractors flashing lights or tail lights are obscured from the rear by the towed equipment,
then the Schuler optional light kit P.N. 10050-0051, or equivalent, must be installed on the equipment.
Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem and reflectors are clean and properly maintained so
they can be seen clearly by all overtaking traffic.
Whenever towing the equipment and especially when towing on public roads, a safety tow chain with
an ultimate strength equal or greater than the gross weight of the equipment should be used. Safety
tow chain may be ordered as an option from Schuler Mfg. Safety tow chain illustrated page 9.
For towing a 10,000 lb. maximum gross weight, order Schuler P.N. 34T10-0000 safety tow chain.
For towing a 20,000 lb. maximum gross weight, order Schuler P.N. 34T20-0000 safety tow chain.
When towing the mixer/feeder always keep the discharge slide chute in the upright position, against
the mixer/feeder body.
