OPERATION
Use adequately sized and rated trailers and
equipment to transport the tractor and implement.
Consult an authorized dealer to determine the
proper equipment required. Using adequately sized
chains, heavy duty straps, cables and/or binders,
securely tie down both the front and rear of the
tractor utilizing the proper tie down locations as
specified by the tractor manufacturer. OPS-U- 0025
Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the
chains are pulling downward and against
themselves. Carefully tighten the securing chains or
other fasteners using boomers or binders to apply
maximum tension. Use extreme care when attaching
and removing the securing devices as the extreme
tension involved when released has the potential to
inflict serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and implement, make
occasional stops to check that the tractor and
implement have not moved or shifted and that the
securing chains have maintained tension. If during
transport a hard braking, sharp turning, or swerving
action was performed, stop at the next safe location
to inspect the security of the load. OPS-U- 0026
