Adjusting the Box Latches
If the box latch does not latch tightly, vibrating up and down
as you drive the machine, you can adjust the latch posts to
make the latches fit snugly.
1.
Loosen the nut on the end of the latch post (Figure 20).

Breaking in a New Machine
Service Interval:
After the first 100 hours
•
Avoid hard-braking situations for the first several hours of
new machine break-in operation. New brake linings may
not be at optimum performance until several hours of use
has caused the brakes to become burnished (broken-in).
•
Refer to Maintenance (page 24) for any special low-hour
checks.
•
Check the front suspension positioning and adjust it if
necessary.
Transporting the Machine
For moving the machine long distances, a trailer should be
used. Make sure that the machine is secured to the trailer.
Refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 for the location of the
tie-down points.
CAUTION
Loose seats may fall off of the vehicle and trailer
when transporting the machine, and the seats may
land on another vehicle or obstruct the roadway.
Remove the seats or make sure that the seats are
securely fastened to the coupling in the seat shroud.

Towing the Machine
In case of an emergency, the machine can be towed for a
short distance. However, we do not recommend this as a
standard procedure.
WARNING
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a loss of
steering control, resulting in personal injury.
Never tow the machine at faster than 8 km/h
(5 mph).
Towing the machine is a 2-person job. If the machine must
be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or
trailer; refer to Transporting the Machine (page 22).
1.
Turn off the On/Off switch and remove the key.
Important:
If you tow the machine with the key
in the On position, the electrical system may be
damaged.
2.
Affix a tow line to the tongue on the front of the frame
(Figure 22).
3.
Release the parking brake.
