Towing a trailer with an underrated tow vehicle or an
underrated or undersized hitch could result in death or
serious injury. Always use a tow vehicle that has a rated
towing capacity that exceeds the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) of the trailer, and is equipped with the
appropriate size tow hitch rated for the GVWR of the trailer.
WARNING
Operating or towing a machine with worn, damaged or
missing parts can result in death or serious injury. Always
replace worn, damaged or missing parts promptly. Do not
operate or tow this machine until all worn, damaged or
missing parts have been replaced, and proper operation of
the machine has been verified.
1. Check to be sure the engine is shut down.
NOTE: Lights will automatically shut down 0.3 seconds
prior to engine shutdown.
