4.9 TRANSPORTING
Transport Safety
1. Make sure you are in compliance with all local regulations
regarding transporting equipment on public roads and highways.
2. Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem and all the lights
and reflectors that are required by local highway and transport
authorities are in place, are clean and can be seen clearly by all
overtaking and oncoming traffic.
3. Attach securely to the tractor using a retainer on the drawbar pin and a
safety chain.
4. Do not allow anyone to ride on the Bale Processor or tractor during
transport.
5. Install lift frame lock pin before transporting.
6. Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Reduce speed on rough roads and
surfaces.
7. Stay away from overhead obstructions and power lines. Electrocution
can occur without direct contact.
8. Always use hazard warning flashers on the tractor when transporting
unless prohibited by law.
Bale Processors are designed to be easily and
conveniently moved from location to location.
When transporting, follow this procedure:
1. Be sure all bystanders are clear of the
machine.
2. Be sure that the unit is hitched positively to
the towing vehicle. Always use a retainer
in the drawbar pin and a safety chain
between the machine and the tractor.
NOTE
Use two safety chains transporting by
truck and cross under the hitch when
connecting. As shown in picture to right.
3. Keep to the right and yield the right-of-way
to allow faster traffic to pass.
4. Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle)
emblem and all the lights and reflectors
that are required by the local highway and
transport authorities are in place, are clean
and can be seen clearly by all overtaking
and oncoming traffic.
5. If transporting with a tractor, install a SMV
(Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem in the
bracket provided.
