When the FLEX-ARM is in transport position it will protrude 70” to the left of the tractor
centerline. Keep the unit out of the path of oncoming traffic, especially when traveling on
narrow roads. Flashing warning lights must be on at all times when transporting or operating
the unit. Ensure that all yellow and red retroreflective decals are in good condition and not
obscured by mud or other material.
In some cases; for instance when working on a narrow road or when the FLEX-ARM is repeatedly extended
and retracted, the amount of stick out to the left of the tractor may not be desirable because of consideration
for oncoming traffic. In this case stop blocks can be installed to limit the amount of stick out to the left of the
tractor to 55”. When the stop block is installed the rotary cutter will trail 19” to the right of center. Refer to the
“ASSEMBLY” section of this manual for installation instructions.
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the
equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this
equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and
how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering
and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for
you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly
to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase
the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum
transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after
you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care
and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from
turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before
operating on roads or uneven ground.
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control
the equipment.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use
the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you
and watch out for the other guy.
