Operating Tips
•
You can use the trailer for the Greensmaster
1000, 1010, 2000, Flex 21, 2100 and eFlex
2100 machines. You can also use it with the
Greensmaster 800, Flex 18, 1800 and eFlex 1800
machines if they are equipped with the Transport
Wheel Kit, (Model 04123). A Greensmaster 1600,
1610, or 2600 machine fits if you remove the
transport axles from the machine and you remove
the rails from the trailer bed. Towing other products
may damage the axles and transmissions that
continue to rotate when towed.
•
Use only a vehicle with the proper tow rating.
The trailer and 2 greens mowing machines weigh
approximately 800 lb. Ensure that the tow vehicle
has adequate braking and handling capacity by
checking the recommendations of the vehicle
manufacturer.
•
Ensure that the trailer is properly connected to
the tow vehicle before loading or unloading the
machines to prevent the tongue from suddenly
moving or flipping up.
•
The trailer adds extra towing weight to the vehicle.
Drive the vehicle safely.
– Do not drive the machine on highways or public
roads.
– Always
slow
the tow vehicle when approaching
and while making a turn.
– Always
slow
the tow vehicle when driving in
unfamiliar areas or over rough terrain.
– Always
slow
the tow vehicle when changing
the direction of travel or preparing to stop.
– Always
slow
the tow vehicle when turning or
driving on slopes.
–
Do not
make sudden or sharp turns.
Do not
suddenly change direction of travel on an
incline, ramp, grade, slope, or similar surface.
– Always adjust the tow vehicle speed to allow
for existing ground conditions, such as wet
slick surfaces, loose sand or gravel, and/or
low-visibility conditions, such as dim or bright
lighting, fog, mist, or rain.
– Be especially careful when driving a heavily
loaded vehicle down an incline or slope. Drive
the vehicle up and down the face of the slopes,
inclines, or grades whenever possible.
Do not
drive across the face of a slope if at all possible.
There is a risk of upsetting the vehicle, which
can result in serious injury or death.
•
Before backing up, look behind you and ensure
that it is clear of people and objects. Back up
slowly and watch the trailer movement closely.
•
Use extreme caution and slow speed when
backing up the trailer and tow vehicle.
•
Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right of way to pedestrians and
other vehicles.

If the trailer begins to vibrate abnormally, stop
immediately. Shut off the tow vehicle engine.
Repair all damage before towing.
•
Before servicing or making any adjustments to the
trailer, do the following:

brake.
