Towing Safety
•
Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch
point.
•
Do not use the machine as a towing vehicle unless
it has a hitch installed.
•
Do not exceed the weight limits for towed
equipment and towing on slopes. The towed
weight must not exceed the weight of the machine
and operator.
•
Never allow children or others near the towed
equipment.
•
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction, increased risk of rollover,
and loss of control. Reduce the towed weight and
slow down.
•
The stopping distance may increase with the
weight of a towed load. Travel slowly and allow
extra distance to stop.
•
Make wide turns to keep the attachment clear of
the machine.
