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.
• Load and unload the machine with the
heavy end up 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.
3. Lower the ramp(s).
4. Lower the loader arms.
5. Load the machine onto the trailer with the heavy
end up the ramp, carrying loads low
•
If the machine has a full load-bearing
attachment (e.g., bucket) or a
non-load-bearing attachment (e.g.,
trencher), drive the machine forward up the
ramp.
•
If the machine has an empty load-bearing
attachment or no attachment, back the
machine up the ramp.
