INDEX
Transporting the Pulverizer
1. Check and follow all federal, state, and local
requirements before transporting the Pulverizer.
2. The Pulverizer should be transported only by tractor
required for field operation. The implement weight
should not exceed more than 1.5 times the tractor
weight. Maximum transport speed for the Pulverizer is
20 mph.
CAUTION
Excessive speed may result in loss of control of
the tractor and implement, reduced braking
ability, or failure of the implement tire or structure.
Do not exceed the implement maximum specified
ground speed regardless of the capability of the
maximum tractor speed.
3. When towing equipment in combination, the
maximum equipment ground speed shall be limited to
the lowest specified ground speed of any of the towed
implements.
Maximum transport speed shall be the lesser of
travel speed specified in the operator's manual,
speed identification symbol, information sign of
towed equipment, or limit of road conditions.
4. Slow down when driving on rough roads. Reduce
speed when turning, or on curves and slopes to avoid
tipping. Equipment altered other than the place of
manufacture may reduce the maximum transport
speed. Additional weight, added tanks, or other
attachments may reduce the machine load carrying
capabilities.
5. Know the transport heights and widths of the
implement before transporting. Use caution when
transporting near bridges and power lines.
WARNING
Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
6. Check to see that the tractor hitch capacity is rated to
carry the weight of the Pulverizer. Refer to Tractor
Operator's Manual.
7. Use pins that properly fit the Lift Arms or Quick Hitch
and Implement Hitch.
8. Raise the machine to full transport height.
