Roadway Safety
•
Operate with safety lights when operating on or near roadways.
•
Obey all state and local laws concerning operation on roadways.
•
Slow down and be careful of traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. Stop before crossing roads
or sidewalks. Use care when approaching areas or objects that may obscure vision.
•
If there is any doubt of safety conditions, discontinue the machine operation until a time when the opera-
tion can be performed safely.
•
When operating near or on roadways, have a Slow Moving Vehicle Emblem clearly displayed.
Truck Or Trailer Transport
•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a truck or trailer.
•
Use full width ramps for loading the machine into a truck or trailer.
•
The parking brake is not sufficient to lock the machine during transport. Always secure the power unit and/
or attachment to the transporting vehicle securely using straps, chains, cables, or ropes. Both the front and
rear straps should be directed down and outward from the machine.
•
Shut off the fuel supply to the power unit during transport on a truck or trailer.
•
If equipped, turn the battery disconnect switch to the Off position to shut off electrical power.
Maintenance
•
Keep the safety decals legible. Remove all grease, dirt, and debris from the safety decals and instructional labels.
•
If any decals are faded, illegible, or missing, contact your dealer promptly for replacements.
•
When new components are installed, be sure that the current safety decals are affixed to the replacement
components.
•
If any component requires replacement, use only original Ventrac replacement parts.
•
Always turn the battery disconnect to the Off position or disconnect the battery before performing any re-
pairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive terminal last. Reconnect the positive terminal
first and the negative terminal last.
•
Keep all bolts, nuts, screws, and other fasteners properly tightened.
•
Always lower the attachment to the ground, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the
ignition key. Make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop before cleaning, inspecting, adjust-
ing, or repairing.
•
If the power unit, attachment, or accessory requires repairs or adjustments not instructed in the operator's
manual, the power unit, attachment, or accessory must be taken to an authorized Ventrac dealer for service.
•
Never perform maintenance on the power unit and/or attachment if someone is in the operator's station.
•
Always use protective glasses when handling the battery.
