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.
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.
When driving the tractor and mixer/feeder on the road or highway under 20 MPH (40 KPH) at
night or during the day, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV)
identification emblem.
Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.

bridges, intersections, etc.
Be observant of bridge loading ratings. Do not cross bridges rated lower than he gross weight at
which you are operating.
Watch for obstructions overhead and to the side while transporting.
Always operate mixer/feeder in a position to provide maximum visibility at all times. Make
allowances for increased length and weight of the mixer/feeder when making turns, stopping the
unit, etc.
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE:
Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the towing vehicle in a closed
building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
Before working on the mixer/feeder, stop the towing vehicle, set the brakes, disengage the PTO
and all power drives, shut off the engine and remove the ignition keys.
Be certain all moving parts on attachments have come to a complete stop before attempting to
perform maintenance.
Always use a safety support and block the wheels. Never use a jack to support the machine.
