ROAD AND HIGHWAY OPERATION
FIG. 6: COMPLY with your state and local LAWS and
REGULATIONS governing highway safety when moving
machinery on a highway.
• ALWAYS travel at a reasonable speed for road or
field conditions. Whenever possible, avoid traveling
near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce
speed when turning crossing slopes, and or rough,
slick or muddy surfaces.
• AVOID transporting the machine on the road with
grain in the tank. Extra caution and slower speeds
need to be used if the machine must be transported
with grain in the tank.
• ALWAYS reduce your speed GRADUALLY to
maintain adequate weight for stability on the rear
(steering) wheels whenever:
a. Slowing the ENGINE speed.
b. Slowing the HYDRO-TRACTION drive.
c. Applying the BRAKES.
• BRAKES must be locked together during road travel.
NEVER apply individual wheel brakes for turning
assist during road or highway operation.
• TOWING of the machine is NOT recommended. But
if the machine must be towed, refer to the Operator
Manual for proper towing procedures.
• ROTATE the header extremity lights. Use headlights,
flashing warning lights, taillights and turn signals, day
and night, unless prohibited by local law. Make sure
lights, reflectors and SMV emblem are installed, in
good condition and wiped clean.
• CHECK clearance CAREFULLY before driving the
machine and header under electric lines, over
bridges, or other obstructions along the highway.
FIG. 7: Watch for overhead wires and other obstructions.
Avoid contact with electrical power lines. Contact with
electrical power lines can cause electrical shock, resulting
in very serious injury or death.
