Do not park equipment where it will be exposed to livestock for long periods of time. Damage and livestock injury could result.

Do not permit children to play on or around the stored unit.

Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface and engage all safety devices.

Wheel chocks may be needed to prevent unit from rolling.

HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORT OPERATIONS

SAFETY CHAINS: If equipment is going to be transported on a public highway, Always follow state and local regulations regarding safety chains and auxiliary lighting. Be sure to check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. If required safety chains should be obtained and installed. Only safety chains (not elastic or nylon/ plastic tow straps) should be used to retain connection between towing and towed machines in event of separation of primary attaching system. Use a high strength, appropriately sized hitch pin with a mechanical retainer and attach safety chains. Criss cross chains under tongue and secure to draw bar cage, mounting loops, or bumper frame.

Adopt safe driving practices:

-Keep brake pedals latched together at all times. NEVER USE INDEPENDENT BRAKING WITH SPRAYER IN TOW. LOSS OF CONTROL OR UPSET MAY RESULT.

-Always drive at a safe speed relative to local conditions and ensure that your speed is low enough for an emergency stop. Keep speed to a minimum.

-Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid risk of overturning.

-Always keep tractor or towing unit in gear to provide engine braking when going downhill. Do not coast.

-Do not drink and drive!

Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads.

Use approved accessory lighting flags and necessary warning devices to protect operators of other vehicles on highway during transport. Various safety lights and devices are available from your dealer.

Use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.

When driving tractor and sprayer under 20 mph (40 kph) day or night, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.

Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.

Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow bridges, intersections, etc.

Be observant of bridge load ratings. Do not cross bridges rated lower than gross weight of unit you are operating.
