Transport Safely
DO NOT transport without first raising row units and engaging safety stops over cylinder rods.
Install lock-up stops on both front and rear basket door cylinders.
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 machine.
Fold radio antenna DOWN.
Latch the brakes together.
Stop slowly to avoid "nose-diving."
Keep the SMV emblem, reflectors, and warning lights clean and in place.
ALWAYS DISENGAGE ROW 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.)
Keep away from moving parts.
Know the transport height and width of your machine.
Check local regulations before transporting.
