4.11 TRANSPORTING (Towing)
Walinga Grain-Vac are designed to be easily
and conveniently moved from location to
location.
When towing, follow this procedure:
1. Be sure all bystanders are clear of the
machine.
2. Be sure that the Grain-Vac is hitched
positively to the towing vehicle. Always use
a retainer in the drawbar pin and a safety
chain between the machine and the towing
vehicle. Always remove the PTO shaft
when towing the Grain-Vac on public
roads.
3. Keep to the right (using North American
convention) and yield the right-of-way to
allow faster traffic to pass. Drive on the
road shoulder, if permitted by law.
4. Do not allow riders on the towing machine
or the tractor.
5. During periods of limited visibility, use pilot
vehicles or add extra lights to the
Grain-Vac.
