CAUTION: When transporting on a public road or highway, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Check local governmental regulations. Various safety devices are available from your John Deere dealer. Keep safety items in good condition. Replace missing or damaged items.

NOTE: Floor mat is applicable for 5310,5210,5405 domestic models with TSS transmission.

Observe the following precautions when operating the tractor on the road:

1. Ballast tractor correctly.

2. OOS: Clean tail lights and adjust rear-view mirrors.

3. Use foot throttle instead of hand throttle.

4. CAUTION: Before operating tractor on a road, lock brake pedals together. Use brake lightly and cautiously at transport speeds.

   Couple brake pedals together using brake locking bar (A). Avoid hard applications of brakes. Reduce speed if towed load weighs more than the tractor and is not equipped with brakes.

   Use extra caution when transporting towed loads under adverse surface conditions and when turning or braking on inclines. Be sure that wheel tread is adjusted wide to provide maximum stability.

   IMPORTANT: To prevent unnecessary wear, never ride the brakes by resting a foot on the pedals.

6. MFWD (if equipped): To reduce tire wear, disengage front wheel drive.

7. Loader Cylinders (if equipped): Engage transport lock for eliminating possibility of loader movement during transport by inadvertently bumping the multi-function lever.

8. Rear Hitch: Lock hitch in transport position to eliminate the possibility of lowering an implement during transport by inadvertently bumping the raise-lower lever.

9. Turn light switch to position (D).

   Always turn light switch to dim lights position when meeting another vehicle. Never use any other lights which increase chances of blind or confuse other drivers.

10. Use turn signal when turning. Be sure to return lever (A) to center position after turning.

11. Drive slowly enough to maintain safe control always. Before descending a hill, shift to a gear low enough to control speed without using brakes. Slow down for rough ground, and sharp turns, especially when transporting heavy, rear mounted equipment.
