Safety rules - Transporting precautions

Comply with local laws and regulations.
•
Use appropriate lighting as defined by local regula-
•
tions. A rotating beacon is recommended.
Make sure the slow moving vehicle (SMV) and/or
•
speed indicator symbol (SIS) is visible.
Never transport the machine without the backhoe
•
in the transport position with the swing lock pin in-
stalled.
Incorrect towing procedures can cause accidents.
•
When towing a disabled machine, follow the proce-
dure in this manual. Use only rigid tow bars.
When absolutely necessary to tow the machine, do
•
not exceed the recommended towing speed. Be
sure the towing machine has sufficient braking ca-
pacity to stop the towed load. If the towed machine
cannot be braked, a towbar must be used or two
towing machines must be used - one in front pulling
and one in the rear to act as a brake. Avoid towing
over long distances.
2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
Lock the brake pedals together when roading to pro-
•
vide equalized brake application.
Lift implements and attachments high enough
•
above ground to prevent accidental contact with
road.
Be aware of overhead structures or power lines
•
and make sure the machine and/or attachments
can pass safely under.
Travel speed should be such that complete control
•
and machine stability is maintained at all times.
Slow down and signal before turning.
•
Pull over to allow faster traffic to pass.
•
Use approved drawbar and/or attachment point, (if
•
equipped), if using your machine to tow another ma-
chine. If a cable or chain is used, keep people away
from the tow line.
Follow correct towing procedure for equipment with
•
or without brakes.
