Transport Safely

Keep away from overhead power lines. Serious injury or death may result. Proceed cautiously under overhead power lines and around utility poles. Know the transport height of your machine. Do not position auger when near electric lines.

Electrocution CAN occur WITHOUT direct contact with overhead electrical lines.

Always fold wings fully for road transport. If wing-fold cylinders are removed, chain wings together to prevent accidental lowering.

To improve stability when traveling through the field, wings should be unfolded from transport position as soon as possible after leaving the roadway.

Do not transport with an underweight tractor. Refer to CALCULATING MINIMUM TRACTOR WEIGHT FOR SAFE TRANSPORT.

Prevent collisions between motorists and slow-moving equipment on public roads. Frequently check for traffic from the rear, especially in turns, and use the turn signals.

Always use the flashing warning lights, day and night, when transporting on a public roadway. Keep reflective material and the SMV emblem clean and visible.

Install transport lockups on depth-control cylinders or close transport lock-up valve.
