OPERATION

13.1 Transporting on Public Roadways

WARNING! Only tow the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor which exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT tow the Implement behind a truck or other type of vehicle. Never tow the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never tow the Implement at speeds over 20 MPH.

DANGER!

WARNING!

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is in- stalled in such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic regulations.

OPERATION

Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and mower 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 towing is wider than the tractor tire width and/or extends beyond your lane of the road.

Make sure that a proper size safety tow chain is secured between the tractor, flex arm, and mower before entering a public road. Transport the flex arm with cylinder guard transport pin engaged and mower with wing and center section transport pins engaged. Do not transport the mower supported by hydraulic pressure.

Practice steering and transporting the tractor, Flex Arm, and mower in an open parking lot before transporting on public roads. Use extreme care when backing the equipment. The mower will not react to backing in the same manner as it does when the mower is connected directly to the tractor. Practice backing until you can safely control the direction and movements of the Flex Arm and mower. If you do not feel that you can safely transport or back the equipment combination do not transport the equipment on public roads and highways.

Transport at slower speeds than you would normally transport the tractor (70% of normal transport speed). Allow yourself more time to react adjust and compensate for the wider equipment. This equipment will trail behind you like two implements one behind the other. Small turns or sideways movements of the tractor can cause the trailing mower to move a greater distance to the side.

Use extreme care when transporting the Flex Arm and mower on public highways and roads. The combination of Flex Arm and mower is wider than the tractor. It is also much longer than a single implement attached to the tractor and you need to allow additional turning clearance. In transport position, the mower is offset 3’ to the right of the tractor. Allow ample clearance when transporting the tractor and implements to insure that they do not contact any bystanders, signs, road structures, or other vehicles.
