Ferris Industries 5901181 Attaching a Trailer, Raise & Lower the Roll BAR, To lower the roll bar

ATTACHING A TRAILER

The maximum weight of a towed trailer should be less than 300 lbs (138kg). Secure the trailer with a appropriately sized clevis pin (A, Figure 10) 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 operating the unit and trailer, and never operate on slopes greater than 10°. See SLOPE OPERATION and TOWED EQUIPMENT in the safety section of this manual for additional safety information.
