Using Front Weights

￿CAUTION: Avoid injury! Tractor front wheel weights improve stability in most slope operation. To avoid injury, add front wheel weights for better front-end stability and steering when using a rear mounted attachment.

Install front wheel weights, two required, for better stability and steering control when you use equipment such as the rear-mounted grass bagger or dumpcart.

See your Authorized Service Center for Front Weights.

Remove front wheel weights when not required.

Using Rear Wheel Weights

Use of rear wheel weights is recommended for improved traction when an attachment, such as snowthrower or blade is used.
