OPERATION

14.2 Hauling the Tractor and Implement

Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement,

measure the height and width dimensions and gross

weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure that the

load will be in compliance with the legal limits set for

the areas that will be traveled through. OPS-U- 0024

Use adequately sized and rated trailers and

equipment to transport the tractor and implement.

Consult an authorized dealer to determine the proper

equipment required. Using adequately sized chains,

heavy duty straps, cables and/or binders, securely tie

down both the front and rear of the tractor utilizing the

proper tie down locations as specified by the tractor

manufacturer. OPS-U- 0025

Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the

chains are pulling downward and against

themselves. Carefully tighten the securing chains or

other fasteners using boomers or binders to apply

maximum tension. Use extreme care when

attaching and re moving the securing devices as the

extreme tension involved when released has the

potential to inflict serious injury.

While hauling the tractor and implement, make

occasional stops to check that the tractor and

implement have not moved or shifted and that the

securing chains have maintained tension. If during

transport a hard braking, sharp turning, or swerving

action was per formed, stop at the next safe location

to inspect the security of the load. OPS-U- 0026
