SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

TRANSPORT SAFETY

Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads.

The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.

When driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 20 mph (32 kph) at night or during the day, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.

Always be sure the implement is in the proper raised position for transport.

Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering control.

Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.

Make sure large round bales transported on tractor rear 3 pt. hitch do not obstruct visibility of tractor’s flashing lights or SMV sign.

When transporting large round bales, keep load as low as practical to maximize tractor stability.

Transporting large round bales on front loaders can limit visibility. Keep load low and go slow if visibility is obstructed. Always use extra care.

Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces.

Do not drink and drive!

Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces, and loose gravel.

Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.

Never allow riders on either tractor or implement. Falling off can kill.

Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow bridges, inter- sections, etc.
