Transportation & Handling
General Safety Rules
TRAVELING & TRANSPORTING ON PUBLIC ROADS
Always walk around and visually inspect the machine before traveling on public roads. Check for damage and/or
faulty components that can fail and create a hazard or unsafe condition. Make sure all machine systems operate
properly, including but not limited to: headlights, tail and brake lights, hazard warning lights, turn indicators,
parking brake, horn and rear view mirrors. Repair or replace any component that is not in proper working order.
Never drive machine at a speed that causes it to bounce or cause loss of control.
Obey all traffic safety laws and regulations. Operate the machine with hazard warning lights on, unless prohibited
by law. It is the operator’s responsibility to activate and use road lights properly while traveling on public roads.
Cover all loads that may spill or blow away. Environmental damage may result. Do not spread dusty materials
where dust may create pollution, visibility issues or interfere with traffic on public roads.
When transporting equipment or machine on a trailer, ensure it is properly secured. Be sure that SMV signs on
equipment or machine are covered while in transport on a trailer.
Be aware of overhead structures and power lines. Make sure machine can safely pass under. Refer to “Dimensions
& Capacities” pages in the Operations section of this manual.
