Towing with the Vehicle
Page 36
2007 Turf/Carryall Vehicle Owner’s Manual
When loading the vehicle, center and secure cargo as far forward as possible in the cargo bed. Do not over-
load the vehicle.
See the following chart for vehicle capacities.
Maximum payload capacity must be reduced accordingly when any option or accessory is installed on the
vehicle.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: A standard Turf 2 or Carryall 2 vehicle with a cab accessory weighing 235 lb. (107 kg) must reduce
its maximum payload capacity by 235 lb. (107 kg) to 565 lb. (256 kg).
TOWING WITH THE VEHICLE
ý
WARNING
• Do not tow a vehicle or trailer on public streets or highways.
• Normal vehicle operating speed should be reduced when towing.
• Extreme caution should be used when towing.
• Total vehicle capacity, including the tow vehicle load rating and the gross weight of the
vehicle or trailer being towed should not exceed the weight previously specified.
• Do not allow riders in the vehicle or trailer being towed.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
Because towing a vehicle or trailer can have an adverse effect on vehicle handling, be especially cautious
when towing with a Turf or Carryall vehicle.
See the preceding chart for vehicle capacities.
Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply the brakes and
have someone chock the tires of the trailer. Brakes should be released to allow the chocks to absorb the load
of the trailer. After the tires have been chocked, engage the park brake.
