TOWING
Trailer safety
l Avoid sudden starts and stops while towing. The additional weight of
the trailer or attachment could cause loss of control resulting in an
accident.
l Never allow anyone to ride in the trailer.
l Failure to use the proper type of trailer hitch could cause the tractor to
overturn resulting in severe personal injury.
l The weight of a trailer increases stopping distances; use extra care,
especially when operating on a slope.
l To avoid loss of control, use extra care when towing a trailer on a wet
or rough surface.
l This tractor is intended ior use on relatively flat terrain.
Towing a trailer on slopes exceeding loo (17% grade) could cause the
tractor and/or the trailer to tip over.
l Use rear wheel weights when towing a trailer on grades. Failure to use
wheel weights could reduce braking power.
l Reduce speed when towing on slopes. Use the MOWING speed range
only.
l Avoid sharp turns when towing a trailer on a slope. If the trailer’s load is
unbalanced, the trailer and/or tractor may overturn.

ing a ball-type hitch or attaching a trailer directly to the tractor’s hitch plate
