SAFETY
This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this
equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete
abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor to pivot
violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death. Never allow the Implement
to contact obstacles.
(S3PT-12)
Lower the Backhoe to the bed of the truck or trailer when
transporting the tractor and Backhoe with a truck. Measure to
ensure the transport height does not exceed the legal limits.
Contact with overhead obstructions or power lines can cause
property damage or serious injury.
(SBH-30)
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.
(SG-6)
Engage boom swing and lift pins. Lock both stabilizers in the raised position. If the backhoe
attachment, such as a bucket, were to drop suddenly and hit the ground while transporting, the tractor
could stop or swing to the side. Immediately resulting in the operator hitting the steering wheel or
flying out of the operator’s seat. Serious injury could result.
(SBH-15)
Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before driving on
public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your operating position,
mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly see the area where you will be
traveling, and any traffic that may approach you. Failure to maintain adequate vision of the public
roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or even death.
(STI-10)
Carry the Backhoe and attachment low when transporting to reduce the
potential of the tractor tipping over. Transport on slopes only at slow
speeds and use gradual turning angles. Tractor wheel contact with any
wash out, drop off or ground obstruction with a raised Backhoe could
result in the tractor tipping over and causing serious injury.
(SBH-36)
Always look behind you before backing up. Make sure you are
looking in the direction of travel. A bystander could walk behind
the tractor. Running into a bystander can result in serious injury or
death.
