• Minimum wheelbase of 70.9"
AND
• Minimum payload capacity of 800lb
AND
• Vehicle tire pressure is at manufacturer's recommended settings
AND
• The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of machine.
Failure to do so may limit a machines handling characteristics. To calculate GVW, add the following:

(G) Weight of Spreader Mount
GVW = A+B+C+D+E+F+G
GVW must be lower than GVWR (see Vehicle Operators Manual for rating). If not, do not operate vehicle and
reduce weight until GVW is lower than GVWR.
