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 can not 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.
