Transporting The Tractor And Snow Blower - Alamo Great White 8650-A Operator's Manual

13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND SNOW BLOWER

Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when
you finish snow blowing an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices
when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By using good judgement and following safe
transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized.
DANGER!
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or
Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or
boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals
should be locked together. Locking the pedals ensures
that both wheels brake simultaneously while stopping,
especially when making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of
the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road
speeds. Never tow the implement at speeds greater
than 20 MPH.
If the tractor's hydraulic pump is not independent of the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to have
hydraulic power, disconnect the snow blower driveline from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline to
the implement deck to prevent driveline damage or loss during transport.
In wet conditions where there is a likelihood of material collecting on
