Towing

1Make sure the mast hold-down latch is securely locked in place.

2Make sure the covers are closed and secured.

3Push to release the lock handle on each of the side outriggers and place in the stowed position. Make sure the spring pins lock the outriggers securely in place.

4Raise the tongue of the machine by turning the tongue outrigger jack handle.

5Position the transport vehicle under the coupler on the tongue of the machine.

6Open the latch on the coupler.

7Turn the tongue outrigger jack handle to lower the tongue and raise the outrigger foot pad off the ground.

8Close the latch on the coupler.

9Rotate the tongue outrigger to the stowed position and secure with the lock pin.

10Attach the safety chains (if required).

11Connect and test the trailer lights.

Towing Information

Use the checklist provided on the back cover of this manual before towing and while on the road.

Inspect all connections at each stop.

Driving a vehicle/trailer combination is different from driving a vehicle alone.

All tires must be properly inflated. Find the recommended cold tire pressures on the tire sidewall or trailer decal. Do not overinflate the tires. Tire pressures go up during driving. Checking the tire pressure when the tires are warm will give you an inaccurate pressure reading.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to twice the normal following distance when towing a trailer. Allow more following distance in adverse weather.

Slow down for downgrades and shift your transmission into a lower gear.

Slow down for curves, hazardous road conditions, freeway exits, and when driving in adverse weather.

Heavy winds, excessive speed, load shifting or passing vehicles can cause the trailer to sway while driving. If this occurs, do not brake, speed up or turn the steering wheel. Turning the steering wheel or applying the brakes can cause the vehicle and trailer to jackknife. Let up on the gas pedal and keep the steering wheel straight.

If the vehicle and/or trailer travels off the paved road, hold the steering wheel firmly and let up on the gas pedal. Do not apply the brakes. Do not turn sharply. Slow down to under 25 mph / 40 km/h. Gradually turn the steering wheel to get back on the road. Proceed with caution when entering traffic.

When passing other vehicles, be sure to leave enough room for the extra length of the trailer. You will need to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.

Avoid jerky or sudden movements when turning.
