Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the
equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this
equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and
how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering
and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for
you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly
to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase
the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases.
transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after
you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care
and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from
turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before
operating on roads or uneven ground.
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control
the equipment.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use
the Tractor's flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you
and watch out for the other guy.
13.4 Starting the Skid Steer
Refer to the skid steer operator's manual for proper starting procedures. Consult an authorized dealer if the
starting procedure is unclear. Make sure that the skid steer parking brake is set, its transmission is in neutral,
the implement is lowered to the ground, and the auxiliary hydraulic remote lever is disengaged before starting
the skid steer. Only start the skid steer when properly seated in the operator's seat with the seat belt securely
fastened.
13.5 Driving the Skid Steer
Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the
skid steer and snow blower. Do not operate the skid steer at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will
prevent stopping quickly during an emergency.
Do not raise or tilt the snow blower to a height that obstructs the operator's visibility to the front of the snow
blower. The height limiting safety chain should stay connected to the snow blower and skid steer during
transport to prevent the snow blower from being raised too high.
