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 condition 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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that
you have determined are safe and which allow you to
properly control the equipment.
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 and watch out for the other guy. (SG-
