Use Safety Lights and Devices
Prevent collisions between other road users,
slow moving tractors with attachments or
towed equipment, and self-propelled
machines on public roads. Frequently check
for traffic from the rear, especially in turns,
and use turn signal lights.
Use headlights, flashing warning lights, and
turn signals during both day and night.
Follow local regulations for equipment
lighting and marking. Keep lighting and
marking visible, clean, and in good working
order. Replace or repair lighting and marking
that has been damaged or lost.
Keep Riders Off Machine
Only allow the Operator on the machine.
Keep riders off.
Riders on the machine are subject to injury
such as being struck by foreign objects and
being thrown off of the machine. Riders also
obstruct the Operator’s view resulting in the
machine being operated in an unsafe
manner.
Observe Maximum Transport Speed
CAUTION: Be sure all bystanders are
clear of Rotary Hoe.
This implement is not equipped with service
or parking brakes. The maximum transport
speed for this implement is 20 mph (32
km/h).
Some tractors are capable of operating at
speeds that exceed the maximum transport
speed of this implement. Regardless of the
maximum speed capability of the tractor
being used to tow this implement, do not
exceed the implement's maximum transport
speed.
Exceeding the implement's maximum
transport speed can result in:
•
Loss
of
control
of
the
tractor/implement combination.
•
Reduced or no ability to stop during
braking.
•
Implement tire failure.
•
Damage to the implement structure
or its components.
Use additional caution and reduce speed
when towing under adverse surface
conditions, when turning, and when on
inclines. For transport, the weight of the
Rotary Hoe must not be more than 1.5 times
the weight of the tractor. The minimum
towing tractor weight for the Rotary Hoe is
9000 lbs. (4082 kg).
