Attaching a Trailer

The maximum horizontal drawbar force allowed is 444 Newton. The maximum vertical drawbar force is 222 Newton. This equates to a 396 lbs (180 kg) trailer on a 10 degree hill. Secure the trailer with an appropriately sized clevis pin (A, Figure 16) and clip (B).

WARNING

Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion.

Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.

Storage

Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules section, then perform the following steps:

Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, & remove the key.

Perform engine maintenance and storage measures listed in the engine owner’s manual. This includes draining the fuel system, or adding stabilizer to the fuel (do not store a fueled unit in an enclosed struc- ture - see warning).

Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a cool, dry place and fully charged about once a month. If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect the nega- tive cable.

Before starting the unit after it has been stored:

Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.

Perform all recommended checks and procedures found in the engine owner’s manual.

Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before use.
