not to coast when towing.

load being towed. Travel slowly and allow plenty of time
and distance to stop.

avoid jack-knifing. Use additional caution when turning
or operating under adverse surface conditions. Use care
when reversing.
Do not attempt to pull or dislodge stationary objects with
the tow hitch. The machine may pivot about the rear drive
wheels and lift upwards, resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
Do not use a chain, cable, or rope to pull accessories not
intended for towing. Only tow accessories that include
a tow attachment.
