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 21,000
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.
Replace the chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
Do not use a safety chain for towing.
