Transporting Safety Instructions And Practices - Schulte FM-115 Operator's Manual

Before operating the Implement, check that the front and rear drive shafts are installed
within their correct working ranges and will not bottom out or become disengaged. Raise
and lower the snow blower or plow and check the collapsed and extended length of the front
drive shaft. Measuring between the drive shaft's cross and bearing kits, the length must be a
minimum of 36 and maximum of 49". Measurements outside this range indicate that an
incorrect drive shaft has been installed or that a non-standard snow blower has been
attached to the front mount frame. Contact your Schulte dealer.
The rear tractor drive shaft remains at a fixed length during operation. The installed length of
the tractor drive shaft should be between 29" and 33" as measured between the cross and
bearing kits. Measurements outside of these ranges may result in damage to the implement
or tractor. A broken driveline can cause personal injury.

TRANSPORTING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRACTICES

Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go
up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Front mounted implements
move the center of gravity to the front and remove weight from the rear wheels.
certain, by adding ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor's weight is on the rear wheels to
prevent tipping, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or uneven
surfaces to prevent loss of steering control which could result in property damage or
possible injury.
transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to the tractor
and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.
Allow sufficient clearance for the Implement to swing outward while turning. Implements
carried behind the Tractor will swing outside the tire path when making turns. Contacting a
solid object while turning will cause equipment damage and possible injury.
Make certain that the "Slow Moving Vehicle" (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local
traffic regulations.
