OPERATION

OPERATION

Inherent hazards of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you finish working in an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By using good judgement and following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized. OPS-L- 0031

Before transporting the tractor and loader, idle the tractor engine. When transporting, carry the loader as low as possible maintaining adequate ground clearance and visibility. Reduce tractor ground speed when transporting a load. Take extra care when traveling over rough terrain or on slopes. OPS-L-0011

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 towing heavy loads at road speeds. Never tow the implement at speeds greater than 20 MPH (32 kph). OPS-U- 0018

10.1 Transporting on Public Roadways
