Safety Chain - Landoll Brillion PD Operator's Manual

INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety Chain

Use the safety chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from the tractor drawbar.
Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of towed machinery, which is 11,000
pounds minimum in accordance with ASAE S338.2
specifications. If two or more implements are pulled in
tandem, a larger chain may be required. Chain capacity
must be greater than the TOTAL weight of all towed
implements.

A second chain should be used between each
implement.
Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or
specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the
chain to permit turning. The distance from hitch pin to
attachment point or intermediate support point should not
exceed 9 inches. See Figure 1-2.
Replace the chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
Do not use a safety chain for towing.
