Towing the Machine
WARNING
Towing the machine at high speed increases the
risk of a hitch malfunction and tire failure. Higher
speeds also increase the momentum of the machine
and braking distance. If the machine becomes
detached from the tow vehicle at high speed, it
could cause damage to property, or injury or death
to bystanders.
Do not exceed 88 km/h (55 mph) when towing the
machine. For poor road conditions or inclement
weather, reduce speed accordingly.
WARNING
Towing the machine with material in the drum
increases the risk of a hitch malfunction and tire
failure. In addition, material could bounce out of
the drum and hit other vehicles and/or people.
Material in the drum increases the weight, which
affects momentum and braking distance.
Do not tow the machine with material in the drum.
