1.3 Travel on public roads
Make sure you understand the speed, brakes,
steering, stability, and load characteristics of this
machine before you travel on public roads.
Use good judgment when traveling on public
roads. Maintain complete control of the machine
at all times. Never coast down hills.
The maximum speed of farm equipment is
governed by local regulations. Adjust travel speed
to maintain control at all times. See the
specifications for the maximum speed for this
machine.
Familiarize yourself with and obey all road
regulations that apply to your machine. Consult
your local law enforcement agency for local
regulations regarding movement of farm
equipment on public roads. Use head lamps,
flashing warning lamps, tail lamps and turn signals,
day and night, unless prohibited by local law.
Make sure all the flashers are operating prior to
driving on the road. Make sure reflectors are
correctly installed, in good condition, and wiped
clean. If applicable, make sure the Slow Moving
Vehicle (SMV) emblem is clean, visible, and
correctly mounted on the rear of the machine.
Be aware of other trac on the road. Keep well
over to your own side of the road and pull over,
whenever possible, to let faster trac pass.
Be aware of the overall width, length, height, and
weight of the machine. Be careful when

1.4 Maintenance
1.4.1 General maintenance information
Before you do maintenance, lubricate, do
servicing, clean, or make adjustments:
• Park the machine on a solid, level surface.
• Make sure that all the controls are in the
neutral position and apply the parking brake.
• Make sure that the machine and the
attachments are lowered to the ground.
• Stop the engine and take the key with you.
• Look and Listen! Make sure that all parts that
move are stopped.
• Put chocks in front of and behind the wheels of
the machine before you do work on or below
the machine. GUID-DB4C2E27-9DAC-4734-83E4-BC4BB5C26EAF-high.jpg [High]

Do not pull the crop or other object from the machine while the engine is in operation. Parts that move can
pull you into the machine before you can move out of the way.
After you do work on the machine, remove all tools from the machine.
Make sure that electrical connectors are clean before you connect them.
Do a check for loose, broken, missing, or damaged parts. Make sure that the machine is in good repair.
Make sure that all guards and shields are in position.
Do not do the servicing, examine or adjust chains

Do not operate the machine with the drive shaft
shields open or removed. Entanglement in drive
shafts that rotate can cause injury or death.
Stay clear of components that rotate.
Make sure that guards that rotate can rotate freely.
A loose yoke can come o a shaft and result in
injury to persons or damage to the machine.
When you install a quick disconnect yoke, the
spring activated locking pins must move freely and
be in the groove on the shaft. Pull on the driveline
to make sure that the quick disconnect yoke can
not be pulled o the shaft. GUID-CEB32148-1F4C-457C-ADF7-595DFC51AC25-high.jpg [High]

1.4.2 Fire prevention and first aid
Be prepared for emergencies.
Keep a first aid kit available for use on small cuts
and scratches.
Keep one or more fire extinguishers of the correct
type. Examine fire extinguishers regularly as stated
by the manufacturer. Make sure that the fire
extinguishers are charged and in operating
condition.
Crop material is flammable, there is a risk of fire.
Use a water type fire extinguisher or other water
source for a fire in crop.
For fires in material other than crop, such as oil or
electrical components, use a dry chemical fire
extinguisher with an ABC rating.
Keep fire extinguishers easy to access where fires
can occur.
Frequently remove crop material from the machine
and examine for components that are too hot. Do
checks on the machine each day for noises that
are not usual. Unusual noises can indicate a worn
out component that can cause too much heat.
If flame cutting, welding, arc welding, or grinding
is to be done on the machine or attachments, clear
