    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.

    Use headlights, flashing warning lights, and turn signals day and night. Follow local regulations for equipment lighting and marking. Keep lighting and marking visible, clean, and in good working order. Replace or repair lighting and marking that has been damaged or lost.

    C - SMV Emblem

    D - Reflectors

    Be sure turn or warning lights (A), tail lights (B), SMV emblem (C), and reflectors (D) are clean and visible. Make sure that the baler warning lights and turn signals operate at the same time as the tractor warning lights and turn signals.



  6. Attach a safety chain of adequate strength to help control the baler if it separates from the drawbar. Do not use the safety chain for towing.

    Safety Chain

    A - Safety Chain

    Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach a safety chain (A) from the baler hitch to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Provide only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.



  7. If transporting the baler behind a tractor without connecting the PTO driveline, remove the driveline from the baler. Transport the driveline parts in another vehicle to prevent loss, damage, and contamination.
