Towing Instructions
All trailer-mounted Terex generator sets are
designed for highway and off the road towing
capabilites. Consult state and local transportation
codes before transporting the generator set.
Additionally, all state and local traffic laws take
precedence over the following instructions
whenever differences arise between them.
Note: Make sure the towing vehicle is of adequate
size to both tow and stop the unit.
1 Disconnect all wiring and cabling (including the
ground wire) from the generator set.
2 Close, latch and lock all access doors.
3 With the leveling jack, raise the trailer hitch to an
adequate height so that the generator can be
securely attached to the towing vehicle.
4 Secure the coupler to the vehicle and attach the
safety chains. Attach the “breakaway” chain on
the surge brake and the electrical coupler
(if equipped).
Always use the proper trailer hitch and safety
chains. Obey all local or state D.O.T. laws when
towing a generator.
Failure to properly secure the trailer to the
towing vehicle may result in death or serious injury.
5 Retract the front leveling jack into its stowed
position.
6 Check the tires for proper inflation and verify lug
nuts are tight. See maintenance section.
7 If equipped with towing light, connect the
electrical coupler to the towing vehicle.
8 Inspect all connections at each stop.
Observe the posted speed limits for trailer.
Generally, do not exceed 60 mph / 97 km/h on
paved roads and 10 mph / 16 km/h on unpaved
roads.
Note: Exceeding these recommended speeds can
cause severe damage to the unit. Damage caused
by these unsafe practices will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Observe and Obey:
Hitching
Make sure that the hitch is sufficient to tow the
generator set.
Make sure that the hitch is properly attached to
the tow vehicle.
Make sure that the safety chains are properly
attached.
Inspect the tires and make sure that all tires are
properly inflated. Refer to the trailer VIN decal
for proper cold tire inflation.
Make sure that all lights are connected and
working.
Towing:
Do not exceed 60 mph / 97 km/h.
Check connections and tire pressure at each
stop.
Slow down for hazardous conditions.
Allow extra distance for following and passing
other vehicles.
