spring clips and reinstall the retainer pins and hair pin
clips to secure the roll bar in the raised position.

Attaching a Trailer

The maximum weight of a towed trailer should be less than
200 lbs (91kg). Secure the trailer with an appropriately sized
clevis pin (A, Figure 21) and clip (B).

Excessive towed loads can cause loss of traction and loss of
control on slopes. Reduce towed weight when operating on
slopes. The surface being driven on greatly impacts traction
and stability. Wet or slippery surfaces can greatly reduce
traction and the ability to stop or turn. Carefully evaluate
the surface conditions before operating the unit and trailer,
and never operate on slopes greater than 10°. See SLOPE
OPERATION and TOWED EQUIPMENT in the safety section
of this manual for additional safety information.

Checking / Adding Fuel

care. Allow engine to cool for at least 3 minutes before
refueling. Do not allow open flame, smoking or matches in
the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.
