8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR

2. Safely Driving the Tractor on Roads

WARNING

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, flash the hazard lights and display the 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 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.

●Turn the hazard lights and headlights ON, unless	P3014904
prohibited by law.

●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.

●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.

●Strictly observe all the currently effective local

traffic and safety laws and regulations. ●ALWAYS travel at a speed that allows the tractor to

remain controlled and stable.

●Avoid engaging differential lock while traveling on a road. Your tractor can lose control.
