Safety Chain
Attach safety chain to rotary cutter and tractor. An
attachment point on the hitch is provided on the
side of the frame. Fasten the large loop of the
safety chain between the hitch and flat washer
using the bolt. Refer to your tractor operator’s
manual for complete instructions to attach the other
end of the chain to tractor. Adjust length to allow
only enough slack as is needed for turning. Lock
hook on chain. Ensure chain rating is equal to or
greater than the gross weight of the towed
equipment.
13.3 Transporting on Public Roadways
Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and mower on public roadways. The tractor
must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning
lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for
automotive drivers and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them.
Check your side view mirrors frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the
tractor’s slower speed. Be extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are towing is wider than
the tractor tire width and/or extends beyond your lane of the road.
If the rotary cutter obscures the tractor warning or tail lights, the rotary cutter
MUST be equipped with a
transport light kit. See the ‘Assembly Section’ for installation instructions.
Check local highway regulations concerning moving machinery on highways.
OPS-R-0036_A
The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is
universal symbol used to alert drivers of the
presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a
slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright
orange with reflective red trim for both easy day
and night visibility. Make sure the SMV sign is
clean and visible from the rear of the unit before
transporting the tractor and implement on a public
roadway. Replace the SMV emblem if faded,
damaged, or no longer reflective. OPS-U- 0020
