Towing the Trencher

  

 
1.)  

Always obey all state and local regulations when towing the trencher on public roads or highways. 

2.) 

Never allow anyone to sit or ride on your trencher.  They could easily fall off and be injured. 

3.) 

The trencher is not a trailer.  Do not carry any cargo on the trencher.  It can fall off and endanger you and other 
drivers. 

4.) 

Be certain the trencher is securely attached to the towing vehicle before towing.  The safety chains should be hooked 
onto the vehicle with sufficient slack for turning allowance.  Always secure trailer hitch with locking bolt. 

5.) 

Be sure to secure the boom up and centered with the up-down and side-to-side travel pins provided.   With the 
engine off, slightly lower the boom to lock it in place and prevent it from swinging.  Also, curl the bucket and arm in to 
achieve a compact towing configuration. 

5.) 

Be sure the outriggers are secured in the vertical position before towing.  Do not tow with outriggers down. 

6.) 

Be aware of the added length of the trencher when you are towing it behind a vehicle.  Be careful not to jack-knife 
your trencher when backing the vehicle. 

7.) 

Towing speed should be according to driving conditions.  Use a “Slow Moving Vehicle” sign when driving on roads.  
Take extra care when driving on rough terrain. 

8.) 

Disconnect the trencher from the towing vehicle before using the trencher. 

9.) 

Grease wheel bearings annually, or after long trips, to extend the life of your bearings.
