OPERATION
If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to have
hydraulic power, disconnect the mower driveline from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline to the
mower deck to prevent driveline damage or loss during transport.
NOTE: Ensure that the mower sections are fully raised and that the transport locks are engaged for each
section.
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway
or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake
pedals should be locked together. Locking the
pedals ensures that both wheels brake
simultaneously while stopping, especially when
making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of
the tractor brakes when carrying equipment at road
speeds. Never haul the implement at speeds
greater than 20 MPH (32 kph). OPS-U- 0018_A
13.1 Transporting on Public Roadways
Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and implement on public roadways. The tractor
must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning
lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for
automotive drivers and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them.
Check your side view mirrors frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the
tractor’s slower speed. Be extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are carrying is wider than
the tractor tire width and/or extends beyond your lane of the road. OPS-U- 0019_A
Only carry the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor
which exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT
carry the Implement behind a truck or other type of vehicle. Never carry
the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never
carry the Implement at speeds over 20 MPH.
(STI-06_A)
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
