create a hazard when driven on public roads.
They are difficult to see, especially at night.

ment.
Use A Safety Chain
▲ Use a safety chain to help control drawn

machinery.
▲ Attach chain to tractor drawbar support or
other specified anchor location. Allow only
enough slack in chain to permit turning.

broken, stretched or damaged.
