8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
2. Safely Driving the Tractor on Roads
Avoid injury. Be cautious when driving the tractor at a
transport speed:
●We recommend that the user / operator use the turn
signal / hazard lights when traveling on public
roads. Before operating the tractor on a public
roadway, be aware of relevant state or local
regulations in effect. An implement safety lighting
kit is available from your local Cub Cadet Yanmar
dealer.
●If local laws permit road travel, use the flashing
hazard lights and Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblems when traveling on public roadways.
When operating the tractor on a road, strictly observe the
following precautions:
●ALWAYS ensure that right side and left side brakes are
equally adjusted.
●ALWAYS ensure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem and hazard lights are clean and clearly visible.
If a towed or rear-mounted implement jeopardizes
visibility of these safety devices, install the Slow Moving
Vehicle (SMV) emblem and hazard lights on the
implement.
(A)Typical example of installed Slow Moving Vehicle
(SMV) emblem
●Turn the hazard lights and headlights ON, unless
prohibited by law.
●Secure the towed implement with lock hitch pins and
safety chains.
●Drive the tractor slowly so that the tractor is under
control at all times. Slow down for travel on a slope,
rough road, sharp turns or when transporting a heavy
rear-mounted implement.
●Adjust the tread width of rear wheels to attain maximum
stability.
●Disengage the 4-wheel drive to prevent excessive tire
wear.
●NEVER coast downhill.
●Check whether the front wheel gearing is engaged.
●Remember that the braking characteristics differ
between the 2- and 4-wheel drive modes. ALWAYS be
aware of the current drive mode and use properly.
●ALWAYS slow down before turning. High-speed turns
may cause the tractor to tip over.
●ALWAYS ensure that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem is on the tractor and is clearly visible.
