1.5 TOWING SAFETY

1. Rotate the discharge tube to face

the opposite direction of the tow-
ing vehicle before towing. This pre-
vents the discharge tube from pro-
jecting over the trailer wheels and
striking foreign objects.

2. Connect hitch safety chains.

Tighten and secure trailer hitch
bolts. Do not attempt to tow the
trailer if vehicle is not equipped with
a 2” ball.

3. Do not exceed maximum towing

speed, indicated on tire sidewall.
Inflate tires to manufacturers specs
as stated on the tire sidewall.

4. Check wheel lug bolts periodically

to ensure they are tight and se-
cure.

5. Make sure the jack stand on trailer

is in the UP position to clear the
ground during towing. Place the
jack stand on a level surface and

secure it in the DOWN position be-
fore use.

6. Never allow passengers to ride on

the chipper chute while the vehicle
is moving, whether the chipper is
running or not.

7. If applicable, shut off fuel supply

when towing.
