OPERATING

Determining Weight for Sprayer

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Excessive towed load can cause loss of traction and loss of control on slopes. Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed load.

Total towed weight must not exceed combined weight of pulling machine, ballast and operator.

The following maximum loaded weight capacity is the average weight loaded with water to the 15 gallon or 25 gallon mark on the sprayer tank.

Model Sprayer

Weight Capacity

ST-151BH

125 lbs. load

 

188 lbs. Towed Weight

ST-251BH

207 lbs. load

 

260 lbs. Towed Weight

CAUTION: Avoid injury! If additional weight is required when towing, add weight at or forward of the rear wheels. Adding weight behind the rear wheels can affect machine steering. Refer to your towing machine manual.

Towing capacity will vary with weight of towing machine and opera- tor.

Example:

 

If Towing Machine Weighs:

400 lbs.

Add Your Weight:

200 lbs.

Combined Weight Equals:

600 lbs.

To maintain stability using the machine in this example, you cannot safely tow more than 600 lbs. without first adding additional ballast to the towing machine.
