Towing Loads

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.

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

Secure towed loads before transporting.

• When operating over rough, hilly, or steep terrain and reducing cargo load by half, any towed load should also be reduced accordingly.
• Do not tow a load that exceeds towing capacity listed in SPECIFICATIONS.
• Do not exceed trailer tongue weight listed in SPECIFICATIONS. (The tongue load of a trailer should be approximately 10% of the total trailer weight.)
• Tow load at a speed slow enough to maintain control.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! When operating on terrain with extreme angles, use a ball type hitch (A).

• Always use approved hitch and hitch point provided for the utility vehicle. Do NOT modify the hitch or hitch point in any way.

Capacity Label

MXT007935-UN-18JUL13

Labels shown are for reference only. Confirm capacities on labels on your machine.

Your machine may have a hitch capacity label installed near the hitch area. The label indicates vertical and horizontal load capacities.

The vertical load capacity is the maximum down force which can be applied for safe operation. The horizontal load capacity is the total weight of what is being towed which must not be exceeded for safe operation.
