12. OPTIONS
12 - 4 P/N 0191914
T
SELF-CLOSING GATE
The self-closing gate is designed to automatically
close after you enter or leave the platform. It
helps prevent people from falling off the platform.
T
SPARK ARRESTOR
The spark arrestor prevents incandescent carbon
particles from coming out the tail pipe. Baffles in the
spark arrestor slow the flow of particles through the
exhaust system. The additional time spent in the
exhaust system lets the carbon completely burn
before it comes out the tail pipe.

TOW KIT
D A N G ER
Improper towing can cause a TB120 to break
away from the towing vehicle. A “runaway”
TB120 can cause death or serious injury.
Do not tow a TB120 faster than 10 mph (16
km/h). A TB120 can behave erratically above
10 mph (16 km/h).
Check with the tow vehicle manufacture or
manufacturer's literature to be sure the
towing vehicle can safely tow and stop a
39,500 pound (17,917 kg) TB120 on the
steepest grade and type of surface you will
encounter. Remember, the TB120 does not
have brakes when it is towed.
When you tow the TB120 around a corner or a
curve do not turn so sharply that either of the
tow bar chains is pulled tight. If a chain is
pulled tight the steering mechanism might be
damaged or the tow vehicle and TB120 might
jackknife.
1. Put the TB120 into its stowed position.
2. Remove the tow bar (1) and tie rod weldment
(2) from the storage cradles (3 typ.) and lay them
near the front of the chassis.
3. Rotate the turntable (4) until the counterweight
(5) is to the side of the chassis (6).
D A N G ER
Death or serious injury can result from being
crushed between the counterweight and tow
vehicle. Do not attempt to attach the tow bar
to the tow vehicle unless the counterweight
is to the side.
