Preparing For Transport Safety

Avoid serious injury or death. Never tow
machine behind a truck or other motor
vehicle. This machine is designed only to be
towed with a properly sized and ballasted
tractor.
• Use a tractor large enough to maintain control. Properly
ballast tractor for towing your machine. Refer to the trac-
tor Operator's Manual and this manual to ensure that
machine can be safely transported with your tractor.
• Be aware of height and width restrictions to avoid collision
with overpasses or other road users.
• Always fold wings fully. If wing-fold cylinders are removed,
chain the wings together to prevent accidental lowering.
• Fully raise the frame, close the hydraulic lockup valve,
and install the transport/service locks before transporting.
• Latch the tractor brakes together.
• Attach a proper size safety chain for load being towed.
See Use a Safety Chain in this section.
• Always follow local and national regulations for equip-
ment size, lighting, and marking before driving on public
roadways. You are responsible for understanding and
complying with all requirements regarding roadway trans-
port. See Use Safety Lights and Devices in this section.
