Towing Safety
•
Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch
point.
•
Follow the attachment manufacturer's
recommendation for weight limits for towed
equipment and towing on slopes. The towed
weight must not exceed the weight of the machine,
operator, and ballast. Use counterweights or
wheel weights as described in the attachment, or
in the towing machine Operator's Manual.
•
Never allow children or others near the towed
equipment.
•
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction, increased risk of rollover,
and loss of control. Reduce the towed weight and
slow down.
•
The stopping distance increases with the weight
of a towed load. Travel slowly and allow extra
distance to stop.
•
Make wide turns to keep the attachment clear of
the machine.
