WARNING!
Transport only at safe speeds. Serious accidents and injuries can result
from operating this equipment at unsafe 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 condi-
tion and operate properly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the safe
transport speeds for you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by
the following rules:
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes. 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 andwatch out for the other guy. (SG-19)
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed
through the turn only after you determine that it is safe to operate
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 safe turning speed for you and this
equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that you
have determined are safe and which allow you to properly control the
equipment.
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 safe transport speed for
you and this Equipment.
