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

•Reduce travel speed in wet or icy roads, stopping distances increase.

DETERMINE MAXIMUM TURING 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:
