Transporting the Turbo-Chisel
Transport Safety Information
Inadequate Tractor Hazard:
Tractor must weight at least 67% of the implement as towed.
Ensure that the towing vehicle is adequate for the task. Using
an inadequate tow vehicle is extremely unsafe, and can result
in loss of control, serious injury and death. See table on next
page. Do not tow if Turbo-Chisel exceeds the load rating of the
vehicle.
Loss of Control Hazard
:
Do not tow the turbo-chisel behind another implement on
public roads. Tow the turbo-chisel to the field with a separate
vehicle. The leading implement may not provide sufficient
lateral control of a trailing implement at highway speeds. The
total weight of the train can also exceed the steering and/or
braking capability of the tractor. The resulting accident could
cause serious injury or death
Excessive Speed Hazard:
Maximum transport speed is 30 kph at all times, and lower
with a lighter tractor. Excess speed can result in loss of control
or inability to stop. Reduce speeds if road conditions are less
than ideal.
Unexpected Wing Tilt-Down and Lowering Hazards:
Use wing locking valves (page 26). Check that implement
centre section lift lock is engaged (page 27). Failure to use
these safety features can cause a major accident resulting in
death, injury and equipment damage. If locks are not engaged,
and a hydraulic failure occurs, or a circuit is unintentionally
set to Float, wings can unfold to ground contact, or implement
can settle into ground contact.
Loss of Control Hazard, Tires:
Inflate tires to factory specifications. Tighten wheel nuts to
specifications. Under-inflated tires or loose nuts can cause
loss of control. Over-inflated tires or overt-tightened nuts can
fail suddenly and cause loss of control. Loss of control can
cause a major accident resulting in death, injury and
equipment damage.
Collision Hazard:
Check lights and reflector regularly. Replace bulbs and faded/
worn/missing decals as required. Use lights in transport.
These features are critical to visibility, particularly with other
drivers unfamiliar with farm equipment or not expecting to
encounter a slow-moving vehicle.
An installation of optional brakes on the implement
does not reduce tractor capability requirements or
increase allowed maximum transport speed.
