Towing Loads
WARNING: 
To help prevent personal injury due to 
loss of control or tipping, always tow a load slowly 
enough to maintain control. 
Do not tow a load that exceeds 1,400 lbs. rolling weight (i.e. 
1. 
trailer plus cargo) and never exceed 140 lbs. tongue weight.
Go slow when towing a heavy load. Allow for increased 
2. 
braking distance. Tow load at a speed slow enough to 
maintain control.
Do not tow on slopes greater than 5°.
3. 
Be particularly cautious when towing down even a gradual 
4. 
slope or turning. The extra weight tends to push the tow 
vehicle and may cause you to lose control (braking and 
steering ability are reduced; towed equipment may jack-
knife).
IMPORTANT: Extreme angles such as high railroad 
crossings can place high bending loads on hitch 
connection. If traversing terrain where these conditions 
exist, use of a ball or pintle type hitch is recommended.
Always use approved hitch and hitch point provided for the 
5. 
utility vehicle. Do not modify the hitch in any way.
Transporting Vehicle
IMPORTANT: Never tow the vehicle. Transmission damage will 
occur if vehicle is towed. Haul the vehicle on a heavy-duty trailer 
or on a full-size truck.
Once the utility vehicle is loaded onto the trailer or truck, 
1. 
leave transaxle gearshift lever in forward or reverse.
Apply parking brake during transport.
2. 
Fasten vehicle to trailer or truck with straps, chains, or 
3. 
cables.
Operator Protective Structure (OPS)
This utility vehicle is equipped with a Operator Protection 
Structure (OPS) and seat belts. When used together they are 
effective in reducing crushing injuries to the operator in the 
event of an accidental rollover or tip-over. The safety provided by 
the OPS is minimized if the seat belt is not properly adjusted AND 
buckled.
WARNING: 
Always wear the seat belt when 
operating the utility vehicle equipped with a OPS. 
However, if the OPS is not present or has been 
removed, the seat belt must not be used.
Use the following guidelines when using a utility vehicle 
equipped with a OPS:
Be aware of overhead clearances in the area of operation. 
1. 
Check for clearance of door (or gate) openings and other 
overhead objects such as utility lines and tree branches. 
Overhead objects could catch the OPS and upset the utility 
vehicle.
Do not modify the OPS by drilling holes for, or welding 
2. 
accessories to the structure.
Do not use the OPS to pull objects with the utility vehicle. 
3. 
Use ONLY the utility vehicle hitch for pulling.
In the event of an accident, have the OPS carefully 
4. 
inspected and, if necessary, replaced by your Cub Cadet 
dealer. Do not attempt to repair the OPS.
