Operating the Tractor

Attaching a Trailer

The maximum weight of a towed trailer should be less than 800 lbs (363 kg). Secure the trailer with an appro- priately sized clevis pin (A, Figure 23) 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 tractor and trailer, and never operate on slopes greater than 10°. See SLOPE OPERATION and TOWED EQUIPMENT in the safety section of this manu- al for additional safety information.

Storage

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.

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, and 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.

CAUTION

Avoid Injury. Safe operation requires your full attention. Do not wear radio or music headphones while operating machine.

The 12-volt accessory outlet is located in the left side pod. It can be used to power small electronic devices. The accessory must be rated at 14 amps or less.

Note: Operating a 12-volt accessory, especially with the engine at idle, may cause battery discharge. When not using the accessory outlet it must be covered with the rubber plug to prevent moisture from causing a short cir- cuit. Entrance of water into outlet can cause a short cir- cuit.
