Operation
Attaching a Trailer
The maximum weight of a towed trailer should be
less than 300 lbs (138kg). Secure the trailer with a
appropriately sized clevis pin (A, Figure 9) and clip
(B).
Excessive towed loads can cause loss of traction
and loss of control on slopes. Reduce towed weight
when operating on slopes. The surface being driven
on greatly impacts traction and stability. Wet or
slippery surfaces can greatly reduce traction and the
ability to stop or turn. Carefully evaluate the surface
conditions before operating the unit and trailer, and
never operate on slopes greater than 10°. See
SLOPE OPERATION and TOWED EQUIPMENT in
the safety section of this manual for additional safety
information.

Pushing the Rider by Hand
1. Refer to Figure 8 for hydraulic release valve
location.
2. To open the dump valves, turn the right-hand
release valve, which is located on top of the right-
hand pump, counter-clockwise 2 full turns MAX.
Then turn the left-hand release valve, which is
located on the bottom of the left-hand pump,
counter-clockwise 2 full turns MAX.
3. Disengage the parking brake. The tractor can
now be pushed by hand.
4. After moving the tractor, engage the parking
brake. Re-engage the pumps (drive position) by
turning the release valves clockwise and tighten to
80-120 in/lbs (9-13.5 N.m.)
DO NOT TOW RIDER
Towing the unit will cause hydraulic pump
and wheel motor damage. Do not use
another vehicle to push or pull this unit.
