2.3 HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORT OPERATIONS
2.3.1 HIGHWAY SAFETY
• Adopt safe driving practices:
• Keep the brake pedals latched together at all times. NEVER USE INDEPENDENT BRAKING WITH MACHINE IN
TOW AS LOSS OF CONTROL AND/OR UPSET OF UNIT CAN RESULT.
• Always drive at a safe speed relative to local conditions and ensure that your speed is low enough for an emergency
stop to be safe and secure. Keep speed to a minimum.
• Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid the risk of overturning.
• Avoid sudden uphill turns on steep slopes.
• Always keep the tractor or towing vehicle in gear to provide engine braking when going downhill. Do not coast.
• Do not drink and drive!
• Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads.
• Use approved accessory lighting flags and necessary warning devices to protect operators of other vehicles on the
highway during daylight and nighttime transport. Various safety lights and devices are available from your dealer.
• The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit their use. Local
laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.
• Use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem when driving this equipment
on the road or highway.
• Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
• Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow bridges, intersections,
etc.
• Be observant of bridge loading ratings. Do not cross bridges rated lower than the gross weight as which you are
operating.
• Watch for obstructions overhead and to the side while transporting.
• Always operate equipment in a position to provide maximum visibility at all times. Make allowances for increased
length and weight of the equipment when making turns, stopping the unit, etc.
• Pick the most level possible route when transporting across fields. Avoid the edges of ditches or gullies and steep
hillsides.
• Be extra careful when working on inclines.
• Maneuver the tractor or towing vehicle at safe speeds.
• Avoid overhead wires or other obstacles. Contact with overhead lines could cause serious injury or death.
• Avoid loose fill, rocks and holes; they can be dangerous for equipment operation or movement.
