OPERATION

ATTACHMENTS

This unit can use many different attachments. See the attachment page in this book. This unit can pull attachments like a lawn sweeper, a lawn aerator, a hopper spreader or a small trailer. This unit can not use attachments that engage the ground like a plow, a disk harrow, or a cultivator.

For trailer and pull-behind attachments or trailers, the maximum gross weight is 250 pounds. Gross weight is the weight of the attachment or trailer and any load that might be on or in it.

Do not operate on a slope that is greater than 10 degrees when using a pull-behind attachment or trailer. We have included a slope guide in this book to help you determine the slope on which you will be operating your unit. Never allow someone to stand or ride on or in an attachment or trailer.
