Tips:
•
Be careful in corners. Practice in first gear to understand the effects of the
machine on your ability to turn sharply. Do not tow through ditches.
•
Distribute material as evenly as possible on the Flatbed.
•
Never tow more than 1100 lbs of material at one time.
•
Take extra care whenever you are towing long material that hangs over the
Flatbed.
•
Use bungee cords or straps to hold awkward material down when necessary.
•
Don't throw small heavy items (like a bulky rock) onto the Flatbed. Place
them on and then strap them down.

Never allow anyone to ride on the Flatbed.
•
Do not tow on slopes greater than 15 degrees.
•
Travel up and down slopes and avoid going across slopes. This is the
same recommendation for using your lawn tractor alone.
