Transporting The Tractor And Mower - Alamo UNDER THE GUARDRAIL Operator's Manual

9. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER

Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and mower and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you
finish mowing an area. Therefore, the operator must use good judgement and safe operation practices when
transporting the tractor and mower between locations. By using good judgement and following safe transport
procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized.
DANGER!
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or
Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
Before transporting the tractor and mower, idle the
tractor engine, turn motor control switch to "OFF" and
wait for all mower moving parts to come to a complete
stop. Raise the mower sections and ensure transport
locks engage.
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or
boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals
should be locked together. Locking the pedals ensures
that both wheels brake simultaneously while stopping,
especially when making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of
the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road
speeds. Never tow the mower at speeds greater than
20 MPH.
