January 2019 1-5
Transporting
• Be aware of the height, length and width of
implement. Make turns carefully and be aware of
obstacles and overhead electrical lines.
• Always travel at a safe speed. Do Not Exceed 20
mph (32 kph).
• Use an agricultural tractor that is large enough with
sufcient braking capacity so that the weight of the
loaded equipment towed does not exceed 1.5 times
the weight of the tractor.
• Use ashing amber warning lights, turn signals and
SMV emblems when on public roads.
• Do not transport in poor visibility.
• The slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblem and
reectors must be secured and be visible on the
machine for transport.
• Avoid soft surfaces, the additional wing weight on
the centre wheels could cause the machine to sink.
• Ensure safety chain is attached correctly to the
towing vehicle and the hitch of the implement.
• Check that wings are rmly seated on transport wing
stops, and wing lift valve and opener valve are in
locked postion.
• Be familiar with and adhere to local laws.
Hydraulics
• Do not search for high pressure hydraulic leaks
without hand and face protection. A tiny, almost
invisible leak can penetrate skin, thereby requiring
immediate medical attention.
• Use cardboard or wood to detect leaks - never your
hands.
• Double check that all is clear before operating
hydraulics.
• Never remove hydraulic hoses or ends with machine
elevated. Relieve hydraulic pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic hoses or ends.
• Maintain proper hydraulic uid levels.
• Keep all connectors clean for positive connections.
• Ensure all ttings and hoses are in good condition.
• Do not stand under wings.
