TOWING THE TRAILER
The REED 00 MODEL C50SS material pump although small in stature as compared to
larger pumps or construction type equipment, requires the same care and attention in
transporting as does the larger heavier equipment. At no time should this be overlooked.
The REED 00 MODEL C50SS is equipped with two (2) torsion bar type axles, electric
brakes, and standard tail lights. It is capable of being towed by a truck at a highway speed
up to
55 MPH (88KM/HR) MAXIMUM , depending on road conditions. THIS SHOULD NOT
BE EXCEEDED.
PREPARE THE UNIT FOR TOWING AS FOLLOWS:
•
For units equipped with a pintle ring , install over pintle hook and close safety clasp.
Insert pin to securely lock safety clasp.
•
For units equipped with a ball hitch , secure hitch on ball and lock in place. Check
that ball has been completely inserted into coupler ball socket and ball clamp is closed
around the underside of the tow ball and yoke and lever is in a closed position.
It is important from a SAFETY standpoint that sufficient weight exists on the tongue to
prevent instability of the trailer during towing. On tandem axle units, the lower the
hitch or tongue height from ground, the less weight is applied to the hitch. The
C50HPS Models require and MUST be a MINIMUM HEIGHT, ground to the top of frame
of 34 inches.
