Transporting on a Trailer

Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply the brakes and have someone chock the trailer tires. The brakes should be released to allow the chocks to absorb the trailer load. After the trailer tires have been chocked, engage the park brake.

TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER

WARNING

•Turn fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 11).

•Do not allow riders in the trailer being towed.

•Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.

•Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the vehicle to overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.

•Reduce normal driving speed when transporting a vehicle on a trailer.

•For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all federal, state, and local requirements such as taillights, brake lights, etc.

•Never tow a vehicle behind a passenger vehicle or truck on a public road unless it is on an approved trailer.

•The vehicle to be transported should be tied securely to the trailer, with the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, the key switch in the OFF position, and the park brake firmly engaged.

•Because of the added length of the trailer, use caution when making turns.

•Do not transport the vehicle on a trailer with a load in the vehicle cargo bed.

•Remove the vehicle windshield and secure seats before transporting on a trailer.

If the vehicle must be transported over long distances or on public highways, it should be transported on an approved trailer that has an approved load rating of 2000 lb. (908 kg) per vehicle being transported. See following NOTE.

NOTE: A two-car trailer should be rated at 2 x 2000 lb. = 4000 lb. (2 x 908 kg = 1816 kg).

STORAGE

See General Warnings on page 10.

DANGER

•Never attempt to drain gasoline when the engine is hot or while it is running.

•Be sure to clean up any spilled gasoline before operating the vehicle.

•Store fuel in an approved fuel container only. Store in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, open flames, heaters, or heat sources.

•Keep fuel out of the reach of children.

•Do not siphon fuel from the vehicle.

WARNING

•Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle or a fire hazard.
