Towing

Be aware of local, provincial, state, and national codes concerning towing implements (wagon) on public roads. Vehicles

traveling at maximum road speed 40kph (20mph) or below must have a SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign attached to the

rear of the implement. In the U.S. vehicles towing at the travel speed rating of maximum 50kph (30mph) require an SIS

sign in addition to an SMV.
When transporting at night, It is recommended to turn on your running lights
Plan your route, if possible avoid busy highways, be a safe and courteous

driver, and obey the rules of the road.

Before Towing Wagon:

•  Check all pull pins are in place and secured.
•  Ensure the header is seated securely to the wagon.

Back the tow vehicle close to the tongue, within 17-20 cm (7-8”) and set

the parking brake.

required to align the clevis to the tow vehicle hitch point,

•

Connect the clevis with a 3/4” grade 5 towing pin and secure with a

• Connect the 7 pin plug and check function of the tail lighting and electric

brakes.

•

Attach the

•  Ensure the chain is through the chain support.
•  Secure chain on the tow vehicle at the towing attach point.
•  Do Not allow more slack than necessary for turning.

point.
