Connecting the Trailer
Important:
Before the trailer is connected, refer to the trailer manual
for more information. Do not modify the tow hitch.
Important:
The procedure to connect the trailer to the tow hitch
depends on the type of trailer. Always follow these precautions.
1. Stop the machine on hard, level ground.
2. Engage the park brake and set the forward/reverse lever to
neutral. Stop the engine.
3. If applicable, adjust the mirror(s) to get a good view of the tow
hitch area.
WARNING
Ensure that no person is between the machine and trailer when the
machine is reversing up to the trailer.
4. Connect the trailer to the tow hitch.
a. Make sure that the trailer and its draw bars are in the correct
position for connection before the machine approaches the
trailer.
b. If a helper is available to manoeuvre the trailer, they must stand
away from the machine until the tow hitch A is aligned correctly
with the trailer towing eye.
The helper must not go near the trailer or machine until the
machine has stopped, with the park brake engaged and the
engine turned off.
c. Connect the trailer lights into the socket.
Make sure that all the trailer lights and the direction indicator
lights operate correctly and are visible to other road users.
d. After the trailer is connected, the machine operator must not
start the engine until the helper is away from the machine and
trailer.
5. Select the applicable gear and drive to suit the conditions.
6. Make sure the brakes operate correctly and get usedto the
braking effect before you drive on a public highway.
