Transporting; Storage - H&S Top Shot 5215 Operator's Manual

REFLECTORS
Red reflective safety decals and an SMV sign are
on the rear of the tank for safety.
SAFETY CHAIN (Optional)
Follow state and local regulations regarding use of a safety chain and transport lighting when towing
farm equipment on public highways. A proper safety chain should be used to retain the safety connection
between the towing and towed machines in the event of separation of the primary attaching system. Check
with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. Unless otherwise prohibited,
use a slow-moving vehicle emblem. Never tow the Top Shot on a public highway at a speed greater than
20 mph (32 kph).
As required or when desired, the Top Shot can be equipped with a safety chain for travel on public highways.
1. Chain has sufficient slack to allow turns and movements of either the tractor or the Top Shot
without placing tension on the chain.
2. Chain is of sufficient strength to hold the decoupled implement (and its load) and tow it to the
shoulder.
TOWING ON HIGHWAY
To view beyond the back of the larger trailer-mounted Top Shot when transporting the unit on a public
highway, consider obtaining and installing a rearview mirror on your tractor with a wide load mounting
bracket.

STORAGE

Because the Top Shot is likely to be used year-round, it should be in ready-to-operate condition at
all times. Several provisions have been designed into the Top Shot to enable it to be used in cold,
moderate, and warm outside temperatures. The most important factor for continuous proper operation
is lubrication. When operating the Top Shot in freezing temperatures, the unit should be stored inside,
if possible. Refer to the Operation Chapter for special operating procedures in freezing temperatures.
