Braking Requirements; Loading Header - Horst Welding CHCF25 Operator's Manual

BRAKING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
WARNING
TOW LOADS SAFELY.
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads and on slopes. Towed loads with or without
brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider total weight of
equipment and its load.
Observe these recommended maximum roads speed, or local speed limits which may be lower:
If towed equipment does not have brakes, do not travel more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and do not

tow loads more than 1.5 times the tractor weight.
If towed equipment has brakes, do not travel more than 40 km/h (25 mph) and do not tow loads

more than 4.5 times the tractor weight.
Ensure load does not exceed recommended weight ratio. Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse
surface conditions, when turning and on inclines.
LOADING THE HEADER:
