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- 0020

Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights,

headlights, and brake/tail lights are functioning

properly before proceeding onto public roads. While

newer model tractors have plenty of lighting to

provide warning signals and operating lighting, most

older models are only equipped with operating lights.

Consult an authorized tractor dealer for lighting kits

and modifications available to upgrade the lighting on

older tractor models. OPS-U- 0021

When operating on public roads, have

consideration for other road users. Pull to the side

of the road occasionally to allow all following traffic

to pass. Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in

your country for agricultural tractors. Always stay

alert when transporting the tractor and implement

on public roads. Use caution and reduce speed if

other vehicles or pedestrians are in the area. OPS-

U- 0022
