Tyres and wheels Check tyre pressures regularly with a pressure gauge capable of reading low pressures accurately Check tyre pressures regularly for damage and wear Select equipment which has tyres and wheels that can cope with speeds over 20 mph and occasional higher speeds Use wheels with bead locks on the rims if the main use is going to be on sloping ground This prevents tyre run off on side slopes Maximum towed weight Follow the advice given by manufacturers on the maximum trailed weight This will be found on the equipment or in the instruction handbook Note Universal road going trailers will normally have the maximum gross weight stated on a separate notice Mounted Equipment ATVs using mounted equipment are safer if the equipment has A low centre of gravity This improves stability A gross weight within the limits the limits approved by the ATV manufacturer No dangerous projections to enquire the operator or bystanders No forward projections which stop head protection being worn Controls which are easy to work and which do not create a hazard to the operator Working speeds less than 16hp Instructions for the mounted and trailed equipment Take note of the manufacturers instructions on Operating on slopes Where to place loads so as to give fore aft and lateral stability The risks of using equipment with negative drawbar nose weight i e loss of traction The maximum oper
