08-TRANSPORTING
8.1 Transport Safely
CAUTION: When transporting on a public road or highway, use accessory lights and
devices to provide adequate warning to operators of other vehicles.
Contact with electrical cables can cause severe injury or death. When transporting or
operating the machine, make sure to avoid contact with electrical lines.
When transporting the implement, always travel at a speed that allows adequate control of
steering and stopping.
CAUTION: When transporting the implement on a smooth surface road, do not
operate the tractor at more than 20 km/h (12 mph). Reduce speed considerably when
traveling over uneven ground. Make sure there is no one near the implement.
In the transport position, be sure to determine the amount of implement travel behind the tractor
when turning corners. Be aware of width and height limits to avoid collisions with bridges and
other vehicles.
Comply with the following recommendations:
•
Use tractor with sufficient capacity to maintain control. Install adequate ballast on the tractor.
•
Couple tractor brake pedals together.
•
If the tractor has a safety ROLL-GARD canopy, keep your seatbelt fastened during transport
operations.
•
Engage a lower gear when going down steep hills or grades; never coast down hills.
•
Always use the warning lights, day and night, when operating on public roads. Keep the
reflectors clean and visible.
•
Prevent collisions between other road users and slow-moving equipment operating on public
roads.
•
Frequently check for traffic from the rear, especially in turns, and use turn signal lights.
•
Stopping distance increases with the speed and weight of mounted loads, and on slopes.
Observe these recommended maximum travel speeds or the local speed limit that might be
lower. Do not go faster than 20 km/h (12 mph).
•
Ensure that the load does not exceed the recommended weight distribution. Add ballast while
complying with tractor limits, lighten the load or use a heavier tractor.
•
Be especially careful when transporting the machine in adverse conditions, when turning and
when operating on slopes.
