Driving Tractor On Roads
|
Check head lights, flashing warning lights, tail lights, and road transport lights before operating tractor on highway. Adjust rear-view mirrors and clean windows and SMV emblem. Lights -Use head lights, flashing warning lights, and turn signals day and night. Follow local regulations for equipment lighting and marking. Keep lighting and |
marking visible and in good working order. Replace or repair lighting and marking that has been damaged or lost. An implement safety lighting kit is available from your John Deere Dealer.
Brakes -Avoid hard application of brakes. Hitch -Set hitch control lever in transport lock position to prevent possible injury or equipment damage from lowering of hitch while transporting. Remote Cylinders -Push transport lock touch switch on SCV TouchSet monitor to eliminate possibility of lowering an implement during transport by inadvertently bumping the extend/retract lever. |
CAUTION:
Prevent collisions between other road users, slow-moving tractors with attachments or towed equipment, and self-propelled machines on public roads. Frequently check for traffic from the rear, especially in turns, and use turn signal lights.
