OPERA

TION

If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to have

hydraulic power, disconnect the mower driveline from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline to the

mower deck to prevent driveline damage or loss during transport.

NOTE: Ensure that the mower sections are fully raised and that the transport locks are engaged for each

section.

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 carrying equipment at road

speeds. Never haul the implement at speeds

greater than 20 MPH (32 kph). OPS-U- 0018_A

13.1 Transporting on Public Roadways

Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and implement on public roadways. The tractor

must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning

lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for

automotive drivers and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them.

Check your side view mirrors frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the

tractor’s slower speed. Be extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are carrying is wider than

the tractor tire width and/or extends beyond your lane of the road. OPS-U- 0019_A

Only carry the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor

which exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT

carry the Implement behind a truck or other type of vehicle. Never carry

the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never

carry the Implement at speeds over 20 MPH.

(STI-06_A)

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.

Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
