Travel On Public Roads - MASSEY FERGUSON 1745 Workshop Service Manual

FIG. 9: When moving bales, never use a tractor front end
loader that is not equipped with a grapple or the proper
bale handling equipment. Use the grapple to prevent the
bale from rolling down the loader frame onto the operator.
Always keep the load close to the ground to keep from
off-balancing the tractor.
Never unload or store bales on a slope where bales can
roll.
Always disengage the tractor PTO, put the tractor
transmission in PARK and apply the parking brake before
getting off of the tractor. Stop the tractor engine and
remove the key before servicing or doing any
maintenance on the machine.

Travel On Public Roads

FIG. 10: Use the lighting and marking system supplied
with the machine when roading.
Make sure reflectors are correctly installed, in good
condition, and wiped clean. Be sure the SMV emblem is
clean, visible, and correctly mounted on the rear of the
machine.
Familiarize yourself with and obey all road regulations that
apply to your machine. Consult your local law
enforcement agency for local regulations regarding
movement of farm equipment on public roads.
Adjust travel speed to maintain control at all times. Limit
speeds to 32 km/hr (20 mi/hr).
Be aware of other traffic on the road. Keep well over to
your own side of the road and pull over, whenever
possible, to let faster traffic pass.
Be aware of the overall width and length of the machine.
Be careful when transporting the machine on narrow
roads and across narrow bridges.
Do not road the baler with a bale in the chamber.
