Towing - Tomberlin Anvil Operator's Manual

Study and understand the controls.
Remove the battery charger cable if connected.
Make sure everyone is seated with seat belts properly fastened.
Adjust rear view mirrors.
Read the safety decals on the dashboard areas.
Place the key in the on position and turn the wheels in the desired direction of motion.
Select direction of motion with the FWD/REV switch.
Release Parking Brake.
Slowly apply the accelerator.
Use the brake to stop and limit vehicle speed.
WARNING
Avoid driving through water as doing so may damage the drive motor and also reduce
braking performance. If driving through water cannot be avoided, check the brake
operation by gently applying pressure to ensure normal operation occurs.
CAUTION
When stationary on a hill, use the footbrake or parking brake to hold position. Do not use
the accelerator pedal. Holding the accelerator pedal will reduce the life of the batteries
and motor.
Parking the Anvil
After stopping the Anvil, engage the parking brake by pulling up on the hand lever.
Turn the key switch off, remove the key, and place the FWD/REV switch in the Neutral
position.
If the vehicle begins to move while parked, motor braking and an alarm should engage
(if the Run/Tow switch is in the Run position). If the vehicle begins to move after being
parked, safely return to the operating position (if possible) to re-engage the parking
brake.

TOWING

WARNING
Do not tow behind an automobile or truck on any public roads. To tow the vehicle on
public roads, use a trailer with a minimum load rating of 2,500 lbs.
To tow the vehicle, turn the ignition switch to the off position and place the FWD/REV
switch in neutral.
Place the Run/Tow switch located under the rear seat to the Tow position.
Use extreme caution while turning.
Do not allow persons in the vehicle while being towed.
Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. Do not allow to roll backwards as this may cause
the vehicle overturn.
