9. Check for correct coupling be-
tween tow hook and trailer. See
the Towing Attachments chapter.
10. Use ballast weight as recom-
mended. Never add more ballast
to compensate a higher load than
allowed. Reduce load for safety.

11. A safety chain will help control
drawn equipment should it be
accidentally separated from the
draw-bar while transporting. Using
the proper adaptor parts, attach
the chain to the tractor draw-bar
support or other specied anchor
locations. Provide only enough
slack in the chain to permit turn-
ing. See your Dealer for a chain
with a strength rating equal to, or
greater than the gross weight of
the towed equipment.
7. Improper use of the draw-bar, even
if correctly positioned, can cause a
rear overturn.
8. Do not overload an attachment
or towed equipment. Use proper
counterweights to maintain tractor
stability. Hitch heavy loads to the
draw-bar only.
