SAFETY
Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go
up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements
move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by adding fron
t
ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering
control or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent loss of steering control which
could result in property damage or possible injury. Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and
in the latched transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to the tracto
r
and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed. (S3PT-2)
Allow sufficient clearance for the Implement to swing outward while turning. Implements
carried behind the Tractor will swing outside the tire path when making turns. Contacting a
solid object while turning will cause equipment damage and possible injury.
(S3PT-20)
Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic regulations.
