Transporting the Machine
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
the necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as
required by law. Please carefully read all the safety
instructions.
1.
Raise the platform of the machine before driving
onto the trailer or truck.
2.
If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle
and connect the safety chains.
3.
If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.
4.
Load the machine onto the trailer or truck.
5.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, set the
brake, and close the fuel valve.
6.
Use the metal tie-down loops and the
caster-wheel frames to securely fasten the
machine to the trailer or truck with straps,
chains, cable, or ropes

Loading the Machine
Use extreme caution when loading or unloading the
machine onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width ramp
that is wider than the machine for this procedure.
Back the machine up the ramp and walk it forward
down the ramp
(Figure
1. Back the machine up the
ramp.
Important:
Do not use narrow individual ramps
for each side of the machine.
WARNING
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck
increases the possibility of tip-over and could
cause serious injury or death
• Use extreme caution when operating a
machine on a ramp.
• Use only a full-width ramp; do not use
individual ramps for each side of the
machine.
• Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between
the ramp and the ground or between the
ramp and the trailer or truck.
• Ensure that the length of ramp is at least
4 times as long as the height of the trailer
or truck bed to the ground. This ensures
that the ramp angle does not exceed 15
degrees on flat ground.
• Back up ramps and drive forward down
ramps.
• Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration
while driving the machine on a ramp as
this could cause a loss of control or a
tip-over situation.
