TRANSPORTING
GENERAL
While towing the spreader, check for traffic constantly. Be sure you
c
an see that no one is attempting to pass you
and that all traffic is sufficiently clear from you before making any turns.
Operating speed is dictated by the terrain over which you are traveling. Always use caution. Avoid traveling on
slopes or hills that are unsafe. Also beware of slippery conditions such as traveling over areas previously spread
with manure. If possible, avoid spreading over areas where manure has been previously applied.
If you will travel on public roadways and it is legal to do so, you must know all rules governing such operation. This
will include lighting and brake requirements in addition to traffic rules. You may also be required to install a safety
chain on the spreader.
Safety Chain Use
A safety chain should be installed when traveling on public roads. The chain must be strong enough to hold the
weight of the loaded spreader. If using a grab hook at the end(s) of the chain to secure the chain to itself, a hook
latch must be installed.
The length of the safety chain is not to be any longer than necessary to turn without
interference. If any chain links or attachment hardware are broken or stretched, repair before using. Store chain
so it does not corrode or become damaged. Do not use this chain for other implements because the strength and
length of chain may not be adequate. Identify this chain for use on this particular spreader.
CAUTION
A SAFETY CHAIN SHOULD BE INSTALLED TO
RETAIN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN
TRACTOR (OR OTHER TOWING VEHICLE)
AND SPREADER WHENEVER TRAVELING ON
PUBLIC ROADS. A SUGGESTED
ATTACHMENT IS ILLUSTRATED. FIGURE 4.
Highway Lights
The spreader comes standard with highway lights. Lights are recommended for any spreader operated on public
roadways and may be required by law. Be sure to plug the electrical plug into the tractor receptacle when hooking
up the spreader. Clean lights as needed to maintain visibility!
If your tractor does not have a receptacle for the electrical plug, then a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign must be
installed at the rear of the spreader.
NOTICE! The 7-Pin Plug is wired for separate turn and brake signals. Some vehicles may use the same wire for
turn and brake signals. In this case, the brake function will use the amber lights instead of the red lights. If towing
behind a vehicle with this wiring setup, a converter should be used to separate the turn and brake signals.
CAUTION
REGULARLY CLEAN OFF THE REFLECTIVE TAPE
AT THE REAR AND SIDES OF THE SPREADER
WHEN TRANSPORTING IT ON THE HIGHWAY.
WARNING
DO NOT TOW AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 20
MPH. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
