Safety Chain - Schulte GX-130 Operator's Manual

13.5 Safety Chain

Attach safety chain to rotary cutter and tractor. An
attachment point on the hitch is provided on the
side of the frame. Fasten the large loop of the
safety chain between the hitch and flat washer
using the bolt. Refer to your tractor operator's
manual for complete instructions to attach the other
end of the chain to tractor. Adjust length to allow
only enough slack as is needed for turning. Lock
hook on chain. Ensure chain rating is equal to or
greater than the gross weight of the towed
equipment.
Only tow the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor which
exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%.
Implement behind a truck or other type of vehicle. Never tow the Implement
and another Implement connected in tandem. Never tow the Implement at
speeds over 20 MPH.
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in death or serious injury.
Make certain that the "Slow Moving Vehicle" (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local
traffic regulations.
The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is
universal symbol used to alert drivers of the
presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a
slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright
orange with reflective red trim for both easy day
and night visibility. Make sure the SMV sign is
clean and visible from the rear of the unit before
transporting the tractor and implement on a public
roadway. Replace the SMV emblem if faded,
damaged, or no longer reflective. OPS-U- 0020str
