Transport Safely
DO NOT transport without first raising row units and engaging safety stops over cylinder rods.
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. Keep the SMV emblem, reflectors, and warning lights clean and in place.
ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
Check clearance before driving under electric wires, bridges, or through doorways. Know the transport height and width of the machine.
Fold radio antenna DOWN.
Latch the brakes together.
Stop slowly to avoid "nose-diving."
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.
Rear of machine swings wide in sharp turns. Use caution in traffic and in congested areas.
ALWAYS place module builder and accumulator in transport position for safe transport.
DO NOT transport machine on road without dual wheels installed.
