OPERATION

The SMV (Slow-Moving-Vehicle) emblem is a universal symbol used to alert drivers of the presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright orange with reflective red trim for both easy day and night visibility. Make sure that the SMV sign attached is clean and visible from the rear before operating the tractor and cutter on public roadways. Replace the SMV emblem if faded, damaged, or no longer reflective.

Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights, headlights, and brake/taillights are functioning properly before proceeding onto public roads. While newer model tractors have plenty of lighting to provide warning signals as well as artificial operating lighting, most older models where only equipped with operating lights. Consult an authorized tractor dealer for lighting kits and modifications available to upgrade the lighting on older tractor models.

When operating on public roads, have consideration for other road users. Pull to the side of the road occasionally to allow any following traffic to pass. Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country for agricultural tractors. Always stay alert when transporting the tractor and mower on public roads. Use caution and reduce speed if other vehicles or pedestrians are in the area.

Reduce speed before turning or applying the brakes. Ensure that both brake pedals are locked together when operating on public roads.
