Towing
CAUTION
Check with your county or state safety towing
regulations department before towing your debris
blower.
•
Make sure that the hitch and coupling of the towing
vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross
vehicle weight rating" (GVWR).
•
Always
inspect the hitch and coupling for wear.
Never
tow the debris blower with defective hitches, couplings,
chains, etc.
•
Check the tire air pressure on both the towing vehicle
and the debris blower. Also check the tire tread wear on
both vehicles
•
Always
make sure the blower is equipped with the "Safety
Chains”.
•
Always
attach the debris blower's safety chain to the
frame of the towing vehicle.
•
Always
make sure that the towing vehicle's directional,
backup, and brake lights are working properly.
•
Remember in most cases the maximum speed unless
otherwise posted for highway towing is 88 km/h (55
mph), however before towing the debris blower, check
your local state, and county vehicle towing requirements.
Recommended off road towing is not to exceed 24 km/h
(15 mph) or less depending on type of terrain.
•
Place chocked blocks underneath wheels to prevent
rolling, while parked, if disconnected from towing vehicle.
•
Inflate tires to correct pressure, inspect tires for cuts, and
excessive wear.
•
When towing the debris blower, rotate the chute to the
up position (opening facing upwards).
•
Check wheel mounting lug nuts with a torque wrench.
Torque wheel lug nuts as described in the maintenance
section of this manual.
•
Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding,
or jack knifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will
improve gas mileage.
•
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.
CAUTION
If the debris blower tow bar is deformed or
damaged, replace the entire tow bar. NEVER
tow the debris blower with a defective tow bar.
There exists the possibility of the debris blower
separating from the towing vehicle.
Debris Blower to Tow Vehicle
Connection
•
Check the vehicle hitch ball and debris blower's coupler
for signs of wear or damage. Replace any parts that are
worn or damaged before towing.
•
Use only a 2 inch ball diameter (towing vehicle), this will
match the debris blower's 2 inch coupler. Use of any
other ball diameter will create an extremely dangerous
condition which can result in separation of the coupler
and ball or ball failure.
•
After the tow bar has been connected to the debris
blower, attach the debris blower's coupler to the hitch ball
on the towing vehicle securely and make sure the lock
lever is in the down position (locked).
CAUTION
NEVER tow the debris blower with the safety chain
removed. The safety chain is intended to prevent
complete separation of the debris blower from the
towing vehicle in the event of a tow bar failure.
