1.3 Travel on public roads

Make sure you understand the speed, brakes,
steering, stability, and load characteristics of this
machine before you travel on public roads.
Use good judgment when traveling on public
roads. Maintain complete control of the machine at
all times. Never coast down hills.
The maximum speed of farm equipment is
governed by local regulations. Adjust travel speed
to maintain control at all times.
Familiarize yourself with and obey all road
regulations that apply to your machine. Consult
your local law enforcement agency for local
regulations regarding movement of farm
equipment on public roads. Use head lamps,
flashing warning lamps, tail lamps and turn signals,
day and night, unless prohibited by local law.
Make sure all the flashers are operating prior to
driving on the road. Make sure reflectors are
correctly installed, in good condition, and wiped
clean. Make sure the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem is clean, visible, and correctly mounted on
the rear of the machine.
Lock brake pedals together (if equipped with dual
brake pedals) so both wheel brakes will be applied
at the same time.
Raise implements to transport position and lock in
place. Place all implements into narrowest
transport configuration.
Disengage the power take-off and differential lock.
With towed implements, use a proper hitch pin
with a clip retainer and safety transport chain.
Be aware of other traffic on the road. Keep well
over to your own side of the road and pull over,
whenever possible, to let faster traffic pass.
Be aware of the overall width, length, height, and
weight of the machine. Be careful when
transporting the machine on narrow roads and
across narrow bridges.
