TRANSPORTING

When transporting the machine, review and follow these instructions:

1.Be sure all bystanders are clear of the machine.

2.Be sure that the machine is securely attached to the tractor and all retainer pins are installed.

3.Clean the SMV emblem, lights and reflectors and be sure they are working.

4.Be sure you are in compliance with all applicable lighting and marking regulations when transporting. Check with your local authorities.

5.Be sure your machine can clearly be seen by overtaking and oncoming traffic.

6.Keep to the right and yield the right-of-way to allow faster traffic to pass. Drive on the road shoulder if permitted by law.

7.Do not allow riders.

8.Always use hazard flashers on the tractor when transporting unless prohibited by law.

9.Use pilot vehicles front and rear when transporting during times of limited visibility.

10.Never transport the machine faster than 20 mph (32 km/h). The ratio of the tractor weight to the Tiller weight plays an important role in defining acceptable travel speed. Table 2 summarizes the recommended travel speed to weight

ratio.
