of the tractor being used to tow this implement, do not exceed the implement’s
maximum transport speed.
Exceeding the implements maximum transport speed can result in:
* Loss of control of the tractor/implement combination
* Reduced or no ability to stop during braking
* Implement tire failure
* Damage to the implement structure or its components
Use additional caution and reduce speed when towing under adverse surface
conditions, when turning, and when on inclines.
Do not attempt transport if the fully loaded implement weighs more than 1.5 times
the weight of the tractor.
Keep signs in good condition. Immediately replace any missing or damaged signs.

Keep towing vehicle in gear at all times.
Neverexceed safe travel speed.
Always use safety pin with locking device and safety chain when attaching towing vehicle.
LOAD WAGON SAFELY
WARNING: Help prevent chassis and tractor rollover due to uneven load distribution.
Distribute load evenly between front and rear, and side to side.
Distribute load evenly. Poor distribution can cause improper trailing of chassis.

2. Make sure that all bolts are tightened.
3. Lubricate the Chassiscompletely. (See LubricationChapter in this manual).
4. Check the tires for proper air pressure. Refer to the manufacturers recommended PSI rating.
5. Check wheel bolts upon delivery, and periodically thereafter. Follow the reccomended torque chart
below for your model of Chassis.
TIREINFLATION
Inflatetirestomanufacture’srecommendedpressure, making sure all tires have equal pressure. Inad-
equate or unequal tire pressure can cause improper trailing and premature tire failure.
WHEELBOLTS
Tighten wheel bolts to specifications below and again after chassis has been in use for a short period of
time. Check periodically thereafter.
