enough to allow you to stand
to one side and NOT in front of
or over the tire assembly. Use a
safety cage if available.
•
Securely support the implement
when changing a wheel.
•
When removing and installing
wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the
weight involved.
•
Make sure wheel bolts have been
tightened to the specified torque.
•
Some attachments may have
foam or sealant inside them and
must be disposed of properly.
OPERATION SAFETY

maximum speed weight ratios for
attached equipment:

equipment is less than or equal
to the weight of machine towing
the equipment.

equipment exceeds weight of
machine towing equipment but
not more than double the weight.
