INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY
SAFETY
GENERAL NOTES (OPERATION)
Caution should be taken when towing and/or using any
attachment. This attachment combined with the weight
distribution, turning radius, and speed of towing vehicle (ie
Zero Turn Mower / ZTR) can result in severe injury or death
to operator, damage to towing vehicle, and/or attachment if
not used properly. Follow all towing safety precautions noted
in the towing vehicle owner's manual, including the following
precautions:
• Ensure the combined weight of the towing vehicle (tow
vehicle weight + operator weight) is greater than the
maximum towed weight of attachment (empty
attachment weight + weight of load).
• Do not exceed maximum towing capacity of towing
vehicle.
• Do not exceed the maximum drawbar pull rating of the
towing vehicle. Drawbar pull is the horizontal force
required to pull the attachment (including weight of
load).
• Only tow this product in the vehicle's tow mode/speed
setting or less than 5 mph. Do not exceed 5 mph.
• Towing speed should always be slow enough to
maintain control. Travel slowly and use caution when
traveling over rough terrain. Avoid holes, rocks and
roots.
• Slow down before you turn and do not turn sharply.
• Use wide turning angles to ensure the attachment
follows the path of the towing vehicle.
• Do not use attachment on steep slopes. A heavy
load could cause loss of control or overturn attachment
and towing vehicle. Additional weights may need to
be added to your vehicle; check with
towing vehicle manufacturer for recommendations.
• Reduce towed weight when operating on slopes.
• Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed, directions, or
turning.
• If you start and stop suddenly on hills, you may lose
steering control or the towing vehicle may tip.
Do not start or stop suddenly when going uphill or
downhill. Avoid uphill starts.
• Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Turf
conditions can affect vehicle stability. Use
extreme caution while operating near drop-offs.
• Do not drive close to creeks, ditches and public
highways.
• Watch out for traffi c when crossing near roadways.
• Use care when loading or unloading the vehicle into a
trailer or truck.
• Use extra care when operating in reverse.
• When reversing, carefully back-up straight to avoid
jackknifi ng. Do not allow towing vehicle wheels to
contact attachment draw bar. Damage could result.
• Stop on level ground, disengage drives, set the parking
brake, and shut off engine before leaving the operator's
position for any reason including emptying the
attachment.
• Use this attachment for intended purpose only.
• This attachment is intended for use in lawn care and
home applications. Do not tow behind a vehicle on a
highway or in any high speed applications.
Do not tow at speeds higher than the maximum
recommended towing speed.
