3. Drive the Tractor on Roads Safely (when with backhoe)
! WARNING ! WARNING
Be cautious when driving the tractor at a
transport speed:
●We recommend that the user/operator use the
turn signal/hazard lights when traveling on
public roads. Before operating the tractor on a
public roadway, be aware of relevant state or
local regulations in effect. An implement safety
lighting kit is available from your local Cub
Cadet Yanmar dealer.
●If local laws permit road travel, flash the hazard
lights and display the Slow Moving Vehicle
(SMV) emblems when traveling on public
roadways.
●When operating the tractor on a road, strictly
observe the following precautions:
• ALWAYS ensure that the Slow Moving Vehicle
(SMV) emblem and hazard lights are clean and
clearly visible. If a towed or rear mounted
implement jeopardizes visibility of these safety
devices, install the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem and hazard lights on the implement.

Vehicle (SMV) emblem
●Turn the hazard lights and headlights ON, unless
prohibited by law.
●Drive the tractor slowly so that the tractor is under
control at all times. Slow down for travel on a slope,
rough road, sharp turns or when transporting a
heavy rear mounted implement.
●Disengage the 4-wheel drive to prevent excessive
tire wear.
●NEVER coast downhill.
●Check whether the front wheel gearing is engaged.
●Remember that the braking characteristics differ
between the 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive
modes. ALWAYS be aware of the current drive
mode and use properly.
●ALWAYS slow down before turning. High-speed
turns may cause the tractor to tip over.
●Strictly observe all the currently effective local
traffic and safety laws and regulations.
●ALWAYS travel at a speed that allows the tractor to
remain controlled and stable.
●Avoid engaging differential lock while traveling on a
road. Your tractor can lose control.
