• SAFETY CHAIN
-A safety chain must be obtained and installed. Always follow state and local regulations regarding
safety chain and auxiliary lighting when towing equipment on a public high way. Be sure to check with local law
enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. Only a safety chain (not an elastic or nylon/plastic tow
strap) should be used to retain the connection between the towing and towed machines in the event of separation
of the primary attaching system.
• Install the safety chains by criss crossing chains under tongue and secure to draw bar cage, mounting loops, or
bumper frame.
• Beware of bystanders, PARTICULARLY CHILDREN! Always look around to make sure that it is safe to start the en-
gine of the towing vehicle or move the unit. This is particularly important with higher noise levels, as you may not
hear people shouting.
• NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED- Do not carry passengers anywhere on or in equipment.
• Do not clean, lubricate, or adjust your equipment while it is moving.
• When halting operation, even periodically, set the or towing vehicle brakes, shut off the engine, and remove the
ignition key.
• Be extra careful when working on inclines.
• Maneuver towing vehicle at safe speeds.
• Avoid loose fill, rocks, and holes; they can be dangerous for equipment operation or movement.
• Allow for unit length when making turns.
• Keep all bystanders and pets clear of the work area.
• Operate the towing vehicle from the operators seat only.

ing alongside of unit.
• Never leave running equipment attachments unattended.
