Safety
Be alert and avoid loose, soft or icy surface conditions that could cause tipping or loss of control.
When possible, travel by driving up or down the slope. Avoid traveling along side hills.
Always check the job site for hazardous terrain, obstructions or bystanders.
Slow down prior to going down any steep grade.
Never take tractor out of gear when going downhill.
Do not exceed the maximum weight carrying capacity of the equipment or the tractor manufacturer's
maximum towing capacity; which ever is lower.
Never use a tractor that is not recommended for the type of unit you are using. If you have any
questions contact your Balzer Dealer.
Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Do not stand in front, behind, or along side of the machine when machine is running.
When parking unit, block wheels securely before unhitching from tractor.
THE MAX SPEED OF THE TOWING TRACTOR IS 20 MPH.
Observe recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits which ever may be lower.
Always move unit with a farm tractor only!
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads and on slopes. Towed loads with
or without brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of control.
Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.
Tractor must be heavy and powerful enough with adequate braking power for the towed load. Use
additional caution when towing loads under adverse surface condition, when turning, and on inclines.
