INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY
GENERAL NOTES (OPERATION)
Caution should be taken when towing and/or using any
attachment. This attachment combined with the weight
distribution, turning radius, and speed of towing vehicle can
result in severe injury or death to operator, damage to towing
vehicle, and/or attachment if not used properly. Follow all
towing safety precautions noted in the towing vehicle owner's
manual, including the following precautions:
• Ensure the combined weight of the towing vehicle (tow
vehicle weight + operator weight) is greater than the
maximum towed weight of attachment (empty attachment
weight + weight of load).
• Do not exceed maximum towing capacity of towing vehicle.
• Do not exceed the maximum drawbar pull rating of the
towing vehicle. Drawbar pull is the horizontal force required
to pull the attachment (including weight of load).
• Only tow this product in the vehicle's tow mode/speed
setting or less than 5 mph. Do not exceed 5 mph.
• Towing speed should always be slow enough to maintain
control. Travel slowly and use caution when traveling over
rough terrain. Avoid holes, rocks and roots.
• Slow down before you turn and do not turn sharply.
• Use wide turning angles to ensure the attachment
follows the path of the towing vehicle.
• Do not use attachment on steep slopes. A heavy load could
cause loss of control or overturn attachment and towing vehicle.
Additional weights may need to be added to your vehicle;
check with towing vehicle manufacturer for recommendations.
• Reduce towed weight when operating on slopes.
• Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not
make sudden changes in speed, directions, or turning.
• If you start and stop suddenly on hills, you may lose steering
control or the towing vehicle may tip.
• Do not start or stop suddenly when going uphill or downhill.
Avoid uphill starts.
• Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Turf conditions
can affect vehicle stability. Use extreme caution while
operating near drop-offs.
