Figure 6
Use the scarifier to loosen hard packed ground. Lower
the teeth to the ground by lowering the attachment
arms and tilting the attachment plate forward. Move
the traction unit slowly backward while lowering the
teeth into the ground. Several shallow passes may be
necessary to thoroughly break up the ground.
The teeth can also be used to hook and tear out
bushes and roots. It is also useful for raking up debris
and brush.
Using the Hitch
Important:
For traction units with wheels, use
the counterweight on the platform when pulling
trailers.
WARNING
Pulling trailers or other objects using a rope,
chain, or cable can cause the rope, chain, or
cable to break under tension. The rope, chain,
or cable could break and snap back, causing
serious injury.
Do not attempt to pull trailers or other objects
with a rope, chain, or cable.

Figure 7
With the hitch installed, the multi-purpose tool can be
used to move trailers. You can install a ball hitch of
proper size for your trailer, or you can use the hitch
without a ball to tow trailers with hitches that require a
pin for attachment.
Never attach a trailer to the hitch that has a tongue
weight greater than the rated lift capacity of the
traction unit. Never try to move a trailer on a slope.
When crossing on or near a public road or street,
always follow traffic laws and regulations, especially
those pertaining to slow moving vehicles. The traction
unit and accessories are not designed for use on
public roads or streets.
Transport Position
When transporting the attachment, keep it as close
to the ground as possible, no more than 15 cm (6
inches) above the ground. Tilt it rearward.
