Keep Riders Off Machinery
Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be
struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.
Never allow children to operate equipment.
Keep all bystanders away from machine when
folding/unfolding, raising/lowering markers,
raising/lowering openers, and transporting.
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for drill is 20 mph (32 kph).
Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden
braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). 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.
Comply with national, regional and local laws.
Follow your tractor manual recommendations for
maximum hitch loads. Insufficient weight on tractor
steering wheels will result in loss of control.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of breakdown
on the road.
Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
“
Check for Overhead Lines
Drill markers contacting overhead electrical lines can
introduce lethal voltage levels on drill and tractor frames.
A person touching almost any metal part can complete
the circuit to ground, resulting in serious injury or death.
At higher voltages, electrocution can occur without direct
contact.
Avoid overhead lines during seed loading/unloading and
marker operations.
