DETERMINE STOPPING CHARACTERISTICS OF TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT FOR TRANSPORTING OR TOWING:

BRAKING TESTS:

APPLY brakes at increasing speeds

Observe STOPPING distances increases with increased speeds.

DETERMINE the maximum safe transport speed that does not exceed 20 mph

DETERMINE MAXIMUM TURNING SPEED BEFORE OPERATING ON ROADS OR UNEVEN GROUND:

TEST equipment in slowly increasing speed in turns to determine it can be operated at higher speeds.

USE REDUCED turning speeds in sharp turns to avoid equipment turning over.

WHEN TOWING OR TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT:

Always WEAR SEAT BELT when operating or transporting mower.

USE low speeds to avoid overturn with raised wings.
