WARNING
Towing the implement at high speeds or with a vehicle
that is not heavy enough could lead to loss of vehicle
control. Loss of vehicle control could lead to serious
road accidents, injury and death. To reduce the hazard,
do not exceed 20 mph. Check that your tractor has
enough ballast to handle the weight of the implement.
Refer to your tractor operator’s manual for ballast re-
quirements.
!
CAUTION
Failure of hydraulic cylinders during transport will
cause implement to drop suddenly, which could lead to
serious road accidents, injury or death. To prevent an
accident, always install cylinder locks before trans-
porting implement.
Before transporting the implement, follow and
check these items:
Refer to Figure 20
Lock Cylinders. Cylinder locks are supplied for
both hydraulic transport cylinders. With imple-
ment fully raised, position lock channel over rod of
cylinder and secure into place with the pin and
spring clip.
NOTE: The cylinder locks can only be installed or
removed after the implement is fully raised.
When cylinder locks are not being used they can
be stored on the storage tubes located on the un-
derside of the main frame directly above each
wheel.
Clearance. Remember that the implement is wid-
er that the tractor. Allow safe clearance.
Road rules. Comply with all federal, state and lo-
cal safety laws when traveling on public roads.
