Attaching A Trailer; Raise & Lower The Roll Bar - Ferris IS2000ZSeries Operator's Manual

Operation
and quality of your lawn. We recommend that you
experiment with both the cutting height and ground
speed until you achieve the best cut. Start with a high
cutting height and using progressively lower settings
until you find a cutting height that is matched to your
mowing conditions and preferences.

Attaching a Trailer

The maximum weight of a towed trailer should be
less than 200 lbs (91kg). Secure the trailer with a
appropriately sized clevis pin (A, Figure 9) 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.
