OPERATION
15.1 Transporting on Public Roadways
Use extreme caution when transporting the tractor and mower on public roadways. The tractor must be
equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning lights to alert
drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for automotive drivers and
most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them. Check your side view mirrors
frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the tractor’s slower speed. Be
extremely cautious when the piece of equipment you are towing is wider than the tractor tire width and/or
extends beyond your lane of the road.
A safety tow chain rated for the weight of the mower must be secured between the tractor and mower before
entering a public road. Ensure that the mower sections are fully raised and that the transport locks are
engaged for each section.

which exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT
tow the Implement behind a truck or other type of vehicle. Never tow the
Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never tow the
Implement at speeds over 20 MPH.
(STI-06)
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local
traffic regulations.
(SG-6)
The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is
universal symbol used to alert drivers of the
presence of equipment traveling on roadways at
a slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright
orange with reflective red trim for both easy day
and night visibility. Make sure the SMV sign is
clean and visible from the rear of the unit before
transporting the tractor and mower on a public
roadway. Replace the SMV emblem if faded,
damaged, or no longer reflective. OPS-F-0059
