Towing Loads

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

Do not tow a load that exceeds the maximum allowable towing load for this vehicle, as specified in this operator’s manual.

• To provide adequate braking ability and traction, weight of towed load (trailer plus cargo) must never exceed the vehicle payload (operator plus passenger plus cargo box load).
• Do not tow a load that exceeds the maximum allowable towing load for this vehicle, as specified in this operator’s manual.
• Do not tow a load that exceeds 273 kg (600 lb).
• Do not exceed a tongue weight of 27 kg (60 lb).
• Tow load at a speed slow enough to maintain control.

IMPORTANT: Extreme angles such as high railroad crossings can place high bending loads on hitch connection (A). Traversing terrain where the preceding conditions exist, use a ball type hitch.
