[3] BALLAST

WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Additional ballast will be needed for transporting heavy implements. When the implement is raised, drive
slowly over rough ground, regardless of how much ballast is used.
• Do not fill the front wheels with liquid.
Front Ballast
Add weights if needed for stability and improving traction.
Heavy pulling and heavy rear mounted implements tend to lift
front wheels. Add enough ballast to maintain steering control and
prevent tip over.
Remove weight when no longer needed.
 Front End Weights (option)
The front end weights can be attached to the bumper.
NOTE
[For installation of up to 3 weights]
• Besides the weight, mounting bolt kit(s) are required for
mounting the weight.
[For installation of up to 5 weights]
• Besides the weight, a front weight bracket and mounting
bolt kit(s) are required for mounting the weight.
IMPORTANT
• Do not overload tires.
• Add no more weight than indicated in chart.
