OPERATION
Hauling the Tractor and Implement
Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement, meas-
ure the height and width dimensions and gross weight of the
complete loaded unit. Ensure that the load will be in compli-
ance with the legal limits set for the areas that will be trav-
eled through. OPS-U- 0024
Use adequately sized and rated trailers and equipment to
transport the tractor and implement. Consult an authorized
dealer to determine the proper
equipment required. Using adequately sized chains, heavy
duty straps, cables and/or binders, securely tie down both
the front and rear of the tractor utilizing the proper tie down
locations as specified by the tractor manufacturer. OPS-U-
0025
Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the chains are
pulling downward and against themselves. Carefully tighten
the securing chains or other fasteners using boomers or
binders to apply maximum tension. Use extreme care when
attaching and removing the securing devices as the extreme
tension involved when released has the potential to inflict
serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and implement, make occasional
stops to check that the tractor and implement have not
moved or shifted and that the securing chains have main-
tained tension. If during transport a hard braking, sharp turn-
ing, or swerving action was performed, stop at the next safe
location to inspect the security of the load. OPS-U- 0026
