8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
2. Safely Driving the Tractor on Roads
Avoid injury. Be cautious when driving the tractor at a
transport speed:
●We recommend that the user / operator use the turn
signal / hazard lights when traveling on public
roads. Before operating the tractor on a public
roadway, be aware of relevant state or local
regulations in effect. An implement safety lighting
kit is available from your local Cub Cadet Yanmar
dealer.
●If local laws permit road travel, use the flashing
hazard lights and Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblems when traveling on public roadways.
When operating the tractor on a road, strictly observe the
following precautions:
●ALWAYS ensure that right side and left side brakes are
equally adjusted.
●ALWAYS ensure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem and hazard lights are clean and clearly visible.
If a towed or rear-mounted implement jeopardizes
visibility of these safety devices, install the Slow Moving
Vehicle (SMV) emblem and hazard lights on the
implement.
(A) Typical example of installed Slow Moving Vehicle
(SMV) emblem
●Turn the hazard lights and headlights ON, unless
prohibited by law.
●Secure the towed implement with lock hitch pins and
safety chains.
●Drive the tractor slowly so that the tractor is under
control at all times. Slow down for travel on a slope,
rough road, sharp turns or when transporting a heavy
rear-mounted implement.
●Adjust the tread width of rear wheels to attain maximum
stability.
●Disengage the 4-wheel drive to prevent excessive tire
wear.
●NEVER coast downhill.
●Check whether the front wheel gearing is engaged.
●Remember that the braking characteristics differ
between the 2- and 4-wheel drive modes. ALWAYS be
aware of the current drive mode and use properly.
●ALWAYS slow down before turning. High-speed turns
may cause the tractor to tip over.
●ALWAYS ensure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem is on the tractor and is clearly visible.
