Husqvarna P-zt 60 Manual

Towing
If machine is equipped with a tow hitch, use much more caution when towing. Do not let children or others in or on towed equipment.
Make wide turns to avoid jack-knifing. Travel slowly and leave more distance to stop. Do not tow on sloped ground. The weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment. Do not tow near ditches, canals, and other hazards.
