Install Proper Ballast

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Machine can become unstable when operating with attachment. Ballast is required when the attachment is installed.

When the attachment is removed, also remove any ballast that was added to the machine.

Use only attachments and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

Four cast iron rear wheel weights are required for ballast when operating your MC519 cart.

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Excessive towed load can cause loss of traction and loss of control on slopes. Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed load.

Total towed weight must not exceed combined weight of pulling machine, ballast and operator.

NOTE:

• Machine, ballast and operator combined weight must exceed cart weight.

• Reduce loaded cart weight on slopes and/or slippery surfaces.

• Traction decreases in reverse

Do not exceed 227 kg (500 lb) cart load.

Remove ballast when the cart is removed. This will ensure proper operation of the machine when the cart is not installed. See your authorized service center for recommended weights on your machine.
