CAUTION: Before operating tractor on a road, lock brake pedals together using brake locking bar (A). Use brakes lightly and cautiously at transport speeds.

CAUTION: When transporting on a public road or highway, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Slow-moving tractors with attachments or towed equipment are difficult to see on public roads. Frequently check for traffic from the rear, especially in turns. Use your turn signals. 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.
