(13.1) Transporting On Public Roadways - Tiger TWR-180 Operator's Manual

13.1 Transporting on Public Roadways
WARNING!
Only tow the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor which exceeds the
weight of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT tow the Implement behind a truck or
other type of vehicle. Never tow the Implement and another Implement connected in
tandem. Never tow the Implement at speeds over 20 MPH.
DANGER!
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Make certain that the "Slow Moving Vehicle" (SMV) sign is in-
stalled in such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When
transporting the Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights
and follow all local traffic regulations.
Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and mower on public roadways. The tractor must
be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning lights to
alert drivers of the tractor's presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for automotive drivers
and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them. Check your side view
mirrors frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the tractor's slower speed. Be
extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are towing is wider than the tractor tire width and/or
extends beyond your lane of the road.
Make sure that a proper size safety tow chain is secured between the tractor and mower before entering a public
road. Transport the mower with with wing and center section transport pins installed. Do not transport the mower
supported by hydraulic pressure.
