3 Important Safety Information
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 20
mph. Some rough terrains require a slower
speed. Sudden braking can cause a towed load to
swerve and upset.
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph. Never travel at a
speed which does not allow adequate control
of steering and stopping. Reduce speed if
towed load is not equipped with brakes.
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Do not tow an implement that, when fully
loaded, weighs more than 1.5 times the weight
of towing vehicle.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark Manual Fold
Sprayer Boom in case of breakdown on the
road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Refer to trans-
port dimensions under “Specifications and
Capacities,” page 23.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the Manual Fold Sprayer
Boom while the tractor is moving.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin, causing serious injury.
▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
▲ Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT
BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.
▲ Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or
goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
▲ If an accident occurs, see a doctor immedi-
ately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gan-
grene may result.
