VI. TRANSPORTING

A. DRIVING:

When driving the detasseler on a public road or highway, drive carefully and follow these steps:

1. Always have the outrigger in the folded position and locked when driving or transporting.

2. Flashing hazard/warning lights have been placed on the detasseler to warn other drivers.

3. A SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem has been mounted on the detasseler to warn other drivers that one is moving slowly. Keep it prop erly displayed, unless prohibited by law.

4. Know and obey all state laws for driving farm equipment on a public road or highway.

5. Adjust the detasseler’s speed to suit the conditions.

6. Slow down and use turn signals before turning.

7. Pull over to side of road before stopping.

8. Keep a proper lookout, and maintain control of the detasseler.

9. Do not drive under trees, bridges, wires, or other obstructions unless there is clearance.

10. Use extra care before entering or leaving a public road or highway.

VI. TRANSPORTING

NOTE:

Extra care should be taken when loading the detasseler onto any trailer. Consider whether it is best to back the detasseler on or drive the detasseler forward.

1. Loading:

NOTE:

Be sure to read and understand the trailer’s owner and operator manual. Hitch the trailer to the pulling vehicle as shown in the trailer’s owner and operator manual.

When moving the detasseler onto a trailer, follow these steps completely:

a. Pull the trailer to flat ground. Apply the pulli ng vehicle’s parking brake and turn off the engine. Use tire chocks to keep the trailer from moving.

b. Fold in the detasseler’s outriggers and lock them to the detasseler.

c. Lower the trailer ramps and set the ramp spacing for the detasseler’s tread setting.

d. Get someone to help guide you onto the trailer. Keep everyone a safe distance from the detasseler.

Stopping the detasseler on the trailer loading ramps may result in detasseler tip-over.

e. Allow enough room between the detasseler and the pulling vehicle for turning.

f. Secure the detasseler to the trailer. See the trailer’s owner and operator manual for instructions.

g. Cover or remove the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem when traveling over 25 miles per
