SAFETY CHAIN
The optional safety chain, 1, shown should be used
when towing the mower-conditioner on a public road.
The safety chain is intended to keep the machine
under control in the event of loss or failure of the hitch
pin.
When the chain is attached to the tractor it should be
supported midway between the machine and tractor.
A clevis should be installed on the drawbar to support
the chain.
WARNING
You must always hook up the safety chain to the
tractor when towing this machine. Failure to
comply will result in death or serious injury.
