WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Select a safe ground speed when transporting. Never travel
at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering
and stopping, and never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) with
attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower speed.
When traveling on public roads, use LED lights, slow
•
moving vehicle sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate
devices to warn operators in other vehicles of your
presence. If implement blocks visibility of slow moving
vehicle sign, relocate sign so it is visible from the back at all
times. Always comply with all federal, state, and local laws.
Reduce ground speed when turning and leave enough
•
clearance to avoid making contact with obstacles such as
buildings, trees, fences, etc. Making contact can result in
equipment damage and cause serious injury or death.
• Slow down when traveling over rough or hilly terrain. Shift
to a lower gear to maintain engine rpm while traveling
slower.
• Slow down when traveling over rough or hilly terrain that
can cause equipment to bounce, or to hit obstacles that are
close by. Either situation can cause damage and/or the
operator to lose control.
Refer to Figure 2-2:
IMPORTANT: The slow moving vehicle sign should
not be used when transporting equipment on a truck
or trailer exceeding seeds of 25 mph. Cover or
remove the slow moving vehicle sign when hauling
the Overseeder.
1. Relocate slow moving vehicle Safety sign from back
of your tractor to the slow moving vehicle mounting
bracket (#6) on the back of the seeder. If needed, a
slow moving vehicle sign can be purchased from
your nearest Land Pride dealer. Refer to "Slow
Moving Vehicle Sign" on page 55.
1. This seeder can be transported with a full box of
seed, however; it is best not to do this unless
necessary because the increased weight does
increase the chances for problems on the road.
2. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting
from one area to another. Do not exceed 20 miles per
hour travel speed.
3. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
4. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave
enough clearance so the seeder does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough
or hilly terrain.
