Attach a properly sized safety tow chain between tractor, machine, and any towed load. Do not transport on roadways with machine more than one-half full. Do not road transport a towed load (such as a fertilizer tank) unless it is empty. Ensure that proper drawbar supports are installed on tractor. Never exceed 13 600 kg (30 000 lb.) of towed weight behind the machine while in the field. Transport only with a properly sized tractor. Refer to CALCULATE MINIMUM TRACTOR WEIGHT FOR SAFE TRANSPORT in Prepare Tractor section. Do not transport on a roadway unless the towed load has two functioning flashing warning lights. Attach an appropriate lighting harness to the 7-pin connector. Contact your John Deere dealer for accessory lights and lighting harnesses. Ensure that towed load has an appropriate SMV emblem and rear reflectors. Ensure that the reflective material and the SMV are clean and visible. When towing on a roadway, refer to TOW LOADS SAFELY in the Safety section. NOTE: It could be necessary to connect hydraulic hoses and move hitch into position. 1. Back tractor to hitch. |

CAUTION:
Avoid serious injury or death resulting from loss of control or rear end collision during transport of the implement and any towed load behind the implement.

IMPORTANT: Fan motor case drain hose MUST be attached to low-pressure drain connection PRIOR to inlet and return hoses being connected. Case drain MUST have LESS THAN 172 kPa (1.72 bar) (25 psi) or fan motor damage occurs. IMPORTANT: Install a Low-Pressure Drain Line Kit when towing tractor is not equipped. IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE other ports at the rear of the tractor which are similar in appearance and size to low-pressure drain port. Due to high back-pressure (over 172 kPa 1.72 bar] [25 psi]), drain connection to these ports RESULTS in fan motor damage. 2. Attach case drain hose (A) to tractor low-pressure drain coupler (B).
