Transport Safely

DO NOT transport without first raising picking units and lowering picking unit lock-up brackets.

When driving on a road or highway at night or during the day, use necessary lights and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. In this regard, check local governmental regulations. Various safety lights and devices are available from your John Deere dealer.

ALWAYS wear your seat belt.

Check clearance before driving under electric wires, bridges, or through doorways. Know the height and width of the picker.

Fold radio antenna DOWN.

Latch the brakes together.

Stop slowly to avoid "nose-diving."

Keep the SMV emblem and reflectors clean and in place.

ALWAYS DISENGAGE UNITS BEFORE ROAD TRANSPORT. TRANSPORTING WITH UNITS ENGAGED WILL CAUSE MACHINE TO STOP SUDDENLY IF OPERATOR LEAVES SEAT FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS.

ALWAYS lower basket completely for safe transport. See LOWERING TELESCOPING BASKET in OPERATING THE MACHINE section. ALWAYS engage front left-hand corner basket latch pin.

Keep away from moving parts.

Know the transport height of your machine.

Know the transport width of your machine and check local regulations before transporting.
