Safety

Read the general safety operating precautions in your machine operator’s manual for additional safety information.

Operate Safely

• 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 application. Do not tow at speeds higher than maximum recommended towing speed.

• Towing speed should always be slow enough to maintain control. Travel slowly over rough ground.

• Do not let children or an untrained person operate machine.

• Do not let anyone, especially children, ride on machine or attachment. Riders are subject to injury such as being str uck by foreign objects and being thrown off. Riders may also obstruct the operator’s view, resulting in the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.

• Check machine brake action before you operate. Adjust or service brakes as necessary.

• Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Replace all worn or damaged safety and instruction decals.

• Do not modify machine or safety devices. Unauthorized modifications to the machine or attachment may impair its function and safety.

• Securely anchor all loads to prevent loads from falling.

• Distribute load evenly for safe travel and unloading of cart.

• Do not obstruct the operator’s view during use.

• Excessive towed load can cause loss of traction and loss of control on slopes. Reduce towed weight when operating on slopes.

• Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

• Use only approved hitches. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the approved hitch point.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes. Use counterweights or wheel weights as described in the machine operator’s manual.

• Do not turn sharply. Use additional caution when turning or operating under adverse surface conditions. Use care when reversing.

• Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

Protect Bystanders

• Keep bystanders away when you operate a towed attachment.

• Before you back machine and attachment, look carefully behind attachment for bystanders.

Keep Riders Off Towed Attachment

Keep riders off of a towed attachment.

Riders on a towed attachment are subject to injury, such as being struck by objects and being thrown off the attachment during sudden starts, stops and turns.

Riders obstruct the operator's view, resulting in the attachment being used in an unsafe manner.

Keep riders off of hitch bracket.

Avoid Injury From Drawbar

Before you disconnect an attachment from machine hitch plate:

• Unload attachment.

• Stop attachment on level ground.

• Stop machine engine.

• Lock machine park brake.

• Block attachment wheels.

• Make sure hands, feet or other body parts are not under drawbar.

Towing Loads Safely

• Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed load. Travel slowly and allow extra time and distance to stop.

• Total towed weight must not exceed limits specified in towing vehicle operator’s manual.
