Before you maneuver the machine, make sure that no personnel are between the machine and the trailing equipment. Block up the hitch of the trailing equipment in order to align the hitch with the drawbar. Maneuver the machine. Connect the machine to the trailing equipment.

Know the maximum dimensions of your machine.
