Safety precautions
Danger!
Proper tire pressure should be maintained
at all times to insure stability during road
travel.
Always use a safety chain while
transporting baler. Sudden jolts or rocking
could cause the drawbar to break. If a
rocking motion occurs when transporting,
reduce speed until rocking stops. Check
rear tractor wheels for any tire tread wear
or pressure loss. Refer to operator's
manual for tractor tire pressures.
Use care when towing baler at transport
speeds. Reduce speed if the weight of
baler exceeds weight of tractor.
When towing baler on public roads, an
extended mirror to improve visibility of
traffic behind the baler is recommended.
Mirrors are available from your dealer.
When the Baler is being transported on a public
thouroughfare, the following precautions must be
observed:
•
Reduce speed before applying the brakes.
Using a hydrostatic transmission to slow the
vehicle is more effective than merely applying
the brakes.
If in doubt regarding local or state/provincial laws
pertaining to transportation of farm equipment,
consult your local law enforcement agency.
