To help avoid injury:
Read trailer operator's manual before loading or transporting your machine. Incorrectly loaded
machine can slip or cause trailer sway.
Ensure that tow vehicle has proper tow capacity rating.
Attach trailer to tow vehicle before loading or unloading.
Park, load, and unload trailer on level ground.
Check that unit and trailer do not exceed size or weight regulations.
Load trailer correctly to avoid trailer sway. Ten to fifteen percent of total vehicle weight (equipment
plus trailer) must be on tongue to help prevent trailer sway.
Connect safety chains to tow vehicle. Attach left chain to right side of tow vehicle and vice versa to
cradle hitch. Do not connect to pintle hook or hitch ball.
Connect breakaway switch cable to tow vehicle. Do not connect to pintle hook or hitch ball.
