10. The spreader does not have brakes. Towing the
spreader must be done safely. The ASAE
(American Society of Agricultural Engineers)
specifies that the towing vehicle should weigh at
least 2/3 as much as the loaded implement to be
reasonably safe towing at speeds up to 20 mph.
This (20 mph) is also the maximum
recommended towing speed for the spreader.
11. When driving the tractor and spreader on the
road or highway
at night or during
the day, use
flashing amber warning lights and a
slow moving
vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.
12. Be sure the slow moving vehicle sign is installed
on the rear of the spreader for transporting on
roadways.
13. Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
14. Be a safe courteous driver. Always yield to
oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow
bridges, intersections, etc.
15. Be observant of bridge loading ratings. Do not
cross bridges rated lower than the gross weight
at which you are operating.
16. Watch for obstructions overhead and to the side
while transporting.
17. Make allowances for increased length and weight
of the spreader when making turns, stopping the
unit, etc.
18. Install safety chains as illustrated on figure 3.
This is a requirement for travel on public
roadways. They are installed to retain the
connection between tractor (or other towing
vehicle) and spreader whenever traveling on
public roads.
Lighting and Marking
It is the responsibility of the customer to know the light-
ing and marking requirements of the local highway au-
thorities and to install and maintain the equipment to
provide compliance with the regulations. Add extra
lights when transporting at night or during periods of
limited visibility.
