Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights, headlights, and brake/taillights are functioning properly before
proceeding onto public roads. While newer model tractors have plenty of lighting to provide warning signals and
operating lighting, most older models were only equipped with operating lights. Consult an authorized tractor
dealer for lighting kits and modifications available to upgrade the lighting on older tractor models.
When operating on public roads, have consideration
for other road users. Pull to the side of the road
occasionally to allow all following traffic to pass. Reduce
transport speed when traveling close to road shoulder
to avoid Flex Arm and cutter from being unstable or
possible roll over if mower wheels go off the shoulder.
Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country
for agricultural tractors. Always stay alert when
transporting the tractor, flex arm, and mower on public
roads. Use caution and reduce speed if other vehicles
or pedestrians are in the area.
The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is universal
symbol used to alert drivers of the presence of
equipment traveling on roadways at a slow speed.
SMV signs are a triangular bright orange with reflective
red trim for both easy day and night visibility. Make
sure the SMV sign is clean and visible from the rear
of the unit before transporting the tractor, flex arm, and
mower on a public roadway. Replace the SMV emblem
if faded, damaged, or no longer reflective.
DANGER!
This Implement is 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)
WARNING!
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)
