Operation
ATTACHING A TRAILER
The maximum weight of a towed trailer should be less
than 200 Ibs (91 kg). Secure the trailer with an appropri-
ately sized clevis pin (A, Figure 9) and clip (B).
Excessive towed loads can cause loss of traction and
loss of control on slopes. Reduce towed weight when
operating on slopes. The surface being driven on greatly
impacts traction and stability. Wet or slippery surfaces
can greatly reduce traction and the ability to stop or turn.
Carefully evaluate the surface conditions before operat-
ing the unit and trailer, and never operate on slopes
greater than 10°. See SLOPE OPERATION and TOWED
EQUIPMENT in the safety section of this manual for
additional safety information.
