Safety Instructions for Towing
Vehicles
The maximum travel speed is the lesser of
• The limit of the road conditions;
• The maximum specified ground speed;
— for towing operations as indicated in this manual
or SIS;
— of the towed vehicle as indicated in its operator's
manual, SIS, or information sign;
• The maximum ground speed of the towed equipment
combination shall be limited to the lowest specified
ground speed of any of the towed machines. This
speed is the ground speed limitation.
EXAMPLE: If the tractor is capable of 25 mph, the first
implement has a SIS for 19 mph, and the last
implement's operator's manual states its specified
ground speed is 15 mph, the towed equipment
combination ground speed limitation is 15 mph.

Attaching, Detaching and Storage

• Do not stand between the tractor and implement when
attaching or detaching implement unless both are not
moving.
• Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, be
sure all connections are tight and that hydraulic lines
and hoses are not damaged.
• Completely raise machine and install transport locks. If
desired to store lowered and on unpaved surface,
place hardwood blocks under roller to keep off ground.
• Block implement so it will not roll when unhitched from
the tractor.
• Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before uncoupling
hydraulic hoses from tractor.
• Use a Safety Chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from the tractor drawbar.
NOTE
To relieve hydraulic pressure: Depending on tractor
hydraulic system, some can be relieved by actuating
control lever after engine is stopped. If tractor has electric
over hydraulic controls, it may be necessary to move the
control lever to the float position. Refer to tractor's
operator's manual.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.

Maintenance Safety

• Block the machine so it will not roll when working on or
under it.
• Transport Locks installed.
• Do not make adjustments or lubricate machine while it
is in motion.
1P342-0621
• Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all
system pressure is relieved.
• Understand the procedure before doing the work. Use
proper tools and equipment.

Protective Equipment

• Wear protective clothing and equipment appropriate
for the job. Avoid loose fitting clothing.
• Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs.

Tire Safety

Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed
by trained personnel using correct tools and equipment.
• When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side,
not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety
cage if available.
• When removing and installing wheels use wheel-
handling equipment adequate for the weight involved.

Chemical Safety

Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use can
seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil and property.
• Read chemical manufactures instructions and store or
dispose of unused chemicals as specified. Handle
chemicals with care and avoid inhaling smoke from
any type of chemical fire.
• Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
the chemical manufacturer.

Prepare for Emergencies

• Keep a First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher handy.
• Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance,
hospital and fire department near the phone.

High Pressure Fluid Safety

Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly invisible and
have enough force to penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Use a piece of cardboard, rather than hands, to
search for suspected leaks.
• Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
• Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
NOTE
Relieve hydraulic pressure by shifting the control valve
lever to float.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
