When equipped with a tow hitch bolted onto rear axle
tube, your Workman can tow trailers or attachments
with a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) up to 1500 lbs.
Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in the
front of the trailer. This places approximately 10% (200
lbs. max.) of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow
hitch of the vehicle.
When towing either standard tongue or 5th wheel
trailers having a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) in excess
of 1500 lbs., use either a chassis mounted draw bar
hitch (rated for 3500 lb. GTW) or 5th wheel kit with
brakes. Trailer brakes are required whenever a trailer
over 1500 lbs. GTW is towed behind a Workman
vehicle.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer (attachment),
do not overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause poor performance or damage to the brakes,
axle, engine, transaxle, steering, suspension, body
structure or tires.
$'&(*%* To reduce potential for drive line damage,
use low range.
When towing 5th wheel attachments, like a fairway
aerator, always install the "wheely bar"(included with
the 5th wheel kit) to prevent the front wheels from lifting
off the ground if the towed attachments movement is
suddenly impaired.

The remote hydraulic control kit supplies live"
hydraulic power from the vehicle pump whenever the
engine is running. The power can be used through the
the quick couplers at the rear of the vehicle.

 &)!*!&% This is the normal position for the control
valve when it is not being used. This position allows
the oil leaving the dump valve to flow through the
remote hydraulic valve to the power steering circuit. In
this position the work ports of the control valve are
blocked and any load will be held by the check valves
in both directions.

position which will lift the rear hitch attachment or apply
pressure to quick coupler "B". This also allows return
oil from Quick coupler "A" to flow back into the valve
and then out to the power steering circuit. This is a
momentary position and when the lever is released it
spring returns to the center off position.
 Use double acting cylinders only.
Using a single acting cylinder does not allow return
flow of hydraulic oil and makes steering more difficult.
Using a single acting cylinder can lower oil level in
transaxle and cause damage to hydraulic pump and
transaxle.
% &)!*!&% This position is similar to Raise (quick
coupler "B" position). It also directs oil to quick coupler
"B" except that the lever is held in this position by a
detent notch in the control panel. This allows oil to flow
continuously to equipment that uses a hydraulic motor.
This position must only be used on attachments with a
hydraulic motor attached.
&* If hydraulic motor is used, it may see 1000 psi
back pressure.
 If used with a hydraulic cylinder or no
attachment, the Raise or On position causes the oil
flow to go over a relief valve which can damage the
hydraulic system. Additionally this condition does not
allow return flow to supply the power steering circuit,
which makes steering more difficult. Use these
positions only momentarily or with a motor attached.

and when the lever is released it spring returns to the
center off position. Momentarily holding and then
releasing the control lever in this position will provide
flow to quick coupler "A" which provides power down
on the rear hitch. When released, it will hold the down
pressure on the hitch.

#&* &)!*!&% This valve position allows oil to flow in
and out of the work ports and is connected to the inlet
and outlet ports at the same time. This allows for
attachments as the rear hitch to "float" up and down.
The same pressure is applied to both quick couplers
due to back pressure from the steering circuit.
