*The maximum loaded weight is the average weight of
the sweeper plus the weight loaded in the hamper.
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 towing
vehicle, ballast and operator.
If additional weight is required when towing, add weight at or forward of the rear wheels. Adding weight behind the rear
wheels can affect vehicle steering. Refer to your towing vehicle manual for information regarding addition of weight.
Towing capacity will vary with
the weight of the towing vehicle
and operator. Add the weight
of your machine to operator
weight to nd the maximum
capacity for towing.

To maintain stability in this example, you cannot safely tow more than 600 lbs
without rst adding ballast (additional weight) to the towing vehicle.
