Transport Safely

• Use a tractor large enough to maintain control. Properly ballast tractor. See tractor operator's manual.

  CAUTION: Keep away from overhead power lines. Serious injury or death may result. Proceed cautiously under overhead power lines and around utility poles. Know the transport height of your machine.

  Electrocution can occur without direct contact with overhead electrical lines.

• Always fold wings fully. If wing fold cylinders are removed, chain wings together to prevent accidental lowering.
• Be aware of height and width restrictions to avoid collision with overpasses or other road users.
• In transport position, use caution in learning the tracking path of the machine behind the tractor when turning corners.
• Fully extend depth control cylinders and close hydraulic transport lock-up valve before transporting.
• Latch the tractor brakes together.
• Shift tractor into a lower gear when transporting down steep slopes or hills. Stop slowly.
• Keep SMV emblem and reflectors clean and visible from rear.
• Do not transport on a roadway unless the towed load has two functioning tail lights. Attach an appropriate lighting harness to the 7-pin connector. Contact your John Deere dealer for accessory lights and lighting harnesses.
• Do not exceed 32 km/h (20 mph).
• Attach proper size safety chain for load being towed. See USING CORRECT SAFETY CHAIN in this addendum.
