Towing the Machine
•
Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch
point.
•
Follow the attachment manufacturer's
recommendation for weight limits for towed
equipment and towing on slopes. Towed
weight must not exceed the weight of the
machine, operator, and ballast; otherwise
hydrostatic transmission failure may occur. Use
counterweights or wheel weights as described in
the attachment manufacturer's manual.
•
Never allow children or others in or on towed
equipment.
•
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction, increased risk of rollover,
and loss of control. Reduce the towed weight and
slow down.
•
Stopping distance increases with the weight of the
towed load. Travel slowly and allow extra distance
to stop.
•
Make wide turns to keep the attachment clear of
the machine.
