OPERATION
ATTACHMENTS
This unit can use many different
attachments.
See the attachment
page
in this
book.
This
unit
can
pull attachments
like a lawn
sweeper,
a lawn aerator,
a hopper
spreader,
or a small trailer.
This
unit cannot
use attachments
that engage
the ground
like a plow, a
disk harrow,
or a cultivator.
For all pull behind attachments
or trailers, the maximum gross
weight
is 200 pounds.
Gross weight
is the weight
of the attachment
or trailer
and any load that might be on or in it.
Do not operate
on a slope
that is greater
than
10 degrees
when
using a pull behind
attachment
or trailer. We have included
a slope
guide in this book to help you determine
the slope on which you will
be operating
your unit. Never allow someone
to stand or ride on or
in an attachment
or trailer.
