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 Power Unit and Implement and how it handles

before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Power Unit steering and

brakes are in good condition and operate properly.

Before transporting the Power Unit and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds

for you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:

Test the power unit at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes

smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics of the Power Unit and Implement. As

you increase the speed of the Power Unit the stopping distance increases. Determine the

maximum 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 power unit 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 power unit and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly

control the equipment.

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Power Unit 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 Power Unit's flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of

traffic around you and watch out for the other guy.

Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement using the power unit. Turn curves

or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain

that at least 20% of the power unit's weight is on the rear wheels to maintain safe steerage.

Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces.

Only connect the Implement to a properly sized and equipped Power Unit

which exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%. Never tow

the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never tow

the Implement at speeds over 20 MPH.
