Excessive towed loads can cause loss of traction and loss of
control on slopes. Reduce towed weight when operating on
slopes. The surface being driven on greatly impacts traction
and stability. Wet or slippery surfaces can greatly reduce traction
and the ability to stop or turn. Carefully evaluate the surface
conditions before operating the unit and trailer, and never
operate on slopes greater than 10°. See SLOPE OPERATION
and TOWED EQUIPMENT in the safety section of this manual
for additional safety information.
