TRANSPORTING
On tractor pulled MODELS, always disconnect the PTO drive shaft from the tractor and return it to the PTO stor- age bracket on the box front before transporting. Failure to do this may result in equipment damage.
WARNING: INSTALL A SMV EMBLEM ON REAR OF FORAGE BOX FOR TRANSPORTING ON ROADWAYS. KEEP THIS EMBLEM CLEAN AND BRIGHT. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERI- OUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Be sure and observe that the rear discharge door is latched closed before traveling on roadways.
If you will travel on public roads and it is legal to do so, you must know all rules governing such operation. This will include lighting and brake requirements in addition to traffic rules. You may also be required to install a safety chain device on the running gear.
