Transporting

!CAUTION

When traveling on public roads at night or during the day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.

1.The 3-Point Seed Bed Roller should be lifted as high as possible to clear the ground when transporting.

2.The frame and scrapers on the pull type Seed Bed Roller are low to the ground while in transport position. Be careful not to hit objects protruding from the ground with the Seed Bed Roller.

3.Leave enough clearance on both sides of the Seed Bed Roller when traveling straight and when making turns to keep the unit from contacting obstacles such as buildings, trees and fences. Always reduce ground speed when turning.

4.Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting from one area to another. Do not travel over 10 MPH while carrying the Seed Bed Roller on its wheels.

Make the following inspections if the Seed Bed Roller is attached to a 3-Point lift:

1.Inspect tractor safety equipment. Make sure the tractor is in good working condition.

2.Carefully raise and lower the implement to ensure that the tractor drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the tractor do not contact the frame and roller.

3.Make sure the lower 3-Point arms are stabilized to prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.

4.Check tractor ballast. Ballast may need to be added to your tractor to maintain steering control. Refer to your tractor Operators Manual to determine whether or not to add ballast.

5.Always travel on roadways in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

6.Slow down when traveling over rough or hilly terrain.

7.Never back-up with the Seed Bed Roller down.

8.Be aware of negative hitch weight on the pull type Seed Bed Roller when in transporting. Negative hitch weight can cause loss of vehicle control. Add weight to the rear of the vehicle if needed.

9.Do not transport on a public roads with roller down. Damage to unit and/or road may occur.
