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 & MARKING
Hazard lights are standard equipment on the
spreader, When towing on roads extend the hazard
light brackets to the out position.
HIGHWAY AND
TRANSPORT OPERATION
1. Adopt safe driving practices:
2. 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.
3. Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid the risk of
overturning.
4. Avoid sudden uphill turns on steep slopes.
5. Always keep the tractor in gear to provide
engine braking when going downhill. Do not
coast.
6. Do not drink and drive.
7. Comply with state and local laws governing
highway safety and movement of farm
machinery on public roads.
8. Use approved accessory lighting flags and
necessary warning devices to protect operators
of other vehicles on the highway during daylight
and night time transport.
9. 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.
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
