Loading 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.
• Back the machine up the ramp and drive it
forward down the ramp.
• 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.
1. If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle
and connect the safety chains.
2. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes and
lights.
3. Lower the ramp, ensuring that the angle
between the ramp and the ground does not
exceed 15 degrees
4. Back the machine up the ramp
