times. Reduce speed prior to making any turns or other
maneuvers.
Bystanders. Check that no one is in the way before mov-

observant of low overhead power lines. Refer to “Specifi-
cations and Capacities,” page 29, for folded dimensions.
Tires. Check that all tires are properly inflated as listed on
Tire Inflation Chart, “Appendix,” page 30.

Warning Lights. To use implement warning lights, your
tractor must be equipped with a seven-pin electrical con-
nector. Always use implement warning lights when trans-
porting the air drill.
Watch Traffic. Remember that the cart bins and folded
implement wings can obstruct your view. Be prepared for
sudden maneuvers from following vehicles.

er attachments, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
information on securing marker transport locks.
