Transporting on a Trailer
Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply the brakes and have
someone chock the trailer tires. The brakes should be released to allow the chocks to absorb the trailer load. After the
trailer tires have been chocked, engage the park brake.
TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER
WARNING
• Turn fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 11).
• Do not allow riders in the trailer being towed.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the vehicle to overturn,
possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
• Reduce normal driving speed when transporting a vehicle on a trailer.
• For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all federal, state, and local requirements such as
taillights, brake lights, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle behind a passenger vehicle or truck on a public road unless it is on an approved
trailer.
• The vehicle to be transported should be tied securely to the trailer, with the Forward/Reverse handle in
the NEUTRAL position, the key switch in the OFF position, and the park brake rmly engaged.
• Because of the added length of the trailer, use caution when making turns.
• Do not transport the vehicle on a trailer with a load in the vehicle cargo bed.
• Remove the vehicle windshield and secure seats before transporting on a trailer.
If the vehicle must be transported over long distances or on public highways, it should be transported on an approved
trailer that has an approved load rating of 2000 lb. (908 kg) per vehicle being transported. See following NOTE.
NOTE: A two-car trailer should be rated at 2 x 2000 lb. = 4000 lb. (2 x 908 kg = 1816 kg).
STORAGE

DANGER
• Never attempt to drain gasoline when the engine is hot or while it is running.
