CAUTION: When transporting machine on a road or highway use accessory lamps and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. In this regard, and for maximum permissible transport widths, check local governmental regulations.

Serious injury or death can result from contact with electric lines. Use care when moving or operating this machine near electric lines to avoid contact.

When transporting, never travel at any speed which would not permit adequate control of steering and stopping.

When transporting machine, seed and pesticide hoppers should be half full or less. For two-wheel drive tractors, exceeding this weight will mean poor front-end stability and possible front-end raising. For four-wheel drive tractors, this will prevent excessive frame loading.

CAUTION: When transporting machine on a smooth surface road, do not exceed 32 km/h (20 mph) tractor speed. Reduce speed considerably when traveling over rough ground.

Be certain everyone is clear of machine.

Never tow this implement behind a truck or other motor vehicle.

In transport position, use caution in learning the tracking path of the machine behind the tractor when turning corners.

Be aware of height and width restrictions to avoid collision with overpasses or other road users.

When towing, remember that towed loads can swerve, upset or cause loss of control. Follow these guidelines:

Use a tractor large enough to maintain control. Properly ballast tractor. See tractor operator's manual.

Latch tractor brakes together.

If tractor has ROLL-GARD ™ Safety Canopy, keep seatbelt fastened when transporting.

Shift tractor into a lower gear when transporting down steep slopes or hills; never coast.

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

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

Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads and on slopes. Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits which may be lower:

Do not travel more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and do not tow loads more than 1.5 times tractor weight.

Ensure load does not exceed recommended weight ratio. Add ballast to recommended maximum for tractor, lighten load, or get a heavier towing unit. Tractor must be heavy and powerful enough with adequate braking power for the towed load. Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse surface conditions, when turning and on inclines.
